Third leg of teaching actionscript 3

myvideosSo I´ve done two lectures since the last post, and my workflow has been increased on both of my jobs, so this post is a late one, but better late then never. My students are beginners in using actionscript 3, but have had two full-day events in actionscript 2 so they have knowledge in using flash and what its good for.

I thought long about what the students should create using actionscript 3 but it was difficult so the students took over and said what they wanted to build. The result was YouTube, in flash. You can see the demo and download the code from the link on the page http://flash.lillegutt.com/project/nith/

The code is not well commented, but some comments exists. The sample here will show how the basics in object oriented coding and give a few pin points on how to do many things.

Hope you like it. Please give me a views/comments/changes if you download the code and test it out.

onAIR in Amsterdam

So, I´m here in Amsterdam for the onAIR tour visit and I must say it has been a long day of many sessions but very interesting. When I got here my room reservation for the hotell was “lost in translation” and I had to walk to two other hotels before I got a room. Not a pleasant way to start my stay, but it worked out in the end.
