Flash Community Believe Video
In addition to being one of the pioneers of MMA, clothing company Tapout is also amazing at creating commercials. Below is a Flash version of the commercials that are currently running on Spike TV.
Now there are many community members not represented here but choices had to be made. It came down to who had cool photos of themselves on Flickr. If you don’t you should hang around with John Davey and Ralph Hauwert more often.
Photos from ArulPrasad, Alan_Ross, johnnybelmont, unitzeroone, chrisorwig, mike.chambers. I know I missed some so please let me know in the comments and I will add you.
Introducing Strobe Media Playback
Update: Just noticed that the player is still in prerelease, so let the team know if you find issues.
As part of the Open Source Media Framework, Adobe has released a new video player called the Strobe Media Playback component. This is a full-featured video player that is ready for easy deployment. It has all of the advanced features of OSMF built right in including things like HTTP streaming, content protection, and progressive, streaming, and live video delivery. Obviously many of you will want to create a custom video player, but for quick video deployment, this player will be the way to go. I have recently switched to using this player on gotoAndLearn().
Deploying the player is very easy and all the instructions are included in the download files. Here’s a tip though. Take the height of your source video and add 35 to get the height of the SWF when you embed.

I just uploaded the first tutorial in a multi-part series on developing AIR applications for Android. In this first tutorial I explain how to get your development environment setup and how to create and load a simple application onto your device using Flash CS5. Future tutorials will cover topics like using the emulator and performance optimizations. |

New Video Tutorial On Multi-Touch In Flash
 |
I just uploaded a new tutorial that explains how to respond and handle raw touch data in Flash Player 10.1. In a previous tutorial I showed how to respond to gestures, but in touch mode you can track all of the touch points on your screen. The 3M display that I am using supports up to 60 touch points, although I have yet to think of an example of how to use them all. |

Flasher Magazine – Issue 3
I just finished uploading it to Vimeo and you can watch it below. I’m planning on making a new site but for now we’ll just to have work with this. This is the first project that I used my new EOS 7D on and I’m very happy with the results. The embedded video here looks good, but for the full experience you can download a high-res version that looks absolutely amazing. You need to be logged into Vimeo to download the source though. Enjoy this issue as I travel through Asia with Mike, Ralph, Mario, and Erik.
