Moving to johnlindquist.com

John Lindquist — Tue, 25 May 2010 14:01:14 +0000

I’ve launched a variety of blogs in my time (pv3d.org, flex4.org, fp10.org) to try and keep content on-topic and, shamelessly, to try and get good google search rankings. For the past few months, I’ve been focusing on frameworks in Flash, so instead of creating “flashframeworks.org” (or something similar) I’ve decided to just consolidate all my posts [...]

AsyncCommand with Robotlegs, Signals, Flight, MinimalComps

John Lindquist — Wed, 19 May 2010 10:17:49 +0000

I watched Jesse Warden’s presentation at FATC over the weekend on Gaia + Robotlegs. It was a great presentation and he was a bit rushed so he didn’t get to explain the importance of his AsyncCommand slide. I threw this together to show my typical approach: Watch the AsyncCommand Video Tutorial Click to view the video in [...]

Search Widget – Robotlegs, Signals, Flight, Minimal Comps, Yahoo Astra

John Lindquist — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 07:25:08 +0000

Man, long time, no post. This video comes from a chat I was having with Renaun Erickson, Garth Braithwaite, and Jac Wright about the value of watching someone work towards a specific goal. So, this video isn’t really a tutorial, it’s more of me just building a search widget and talking about it as I go. [...]

FDT Super Awesome March Deal

John Lindquist — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 17:29:56 +0000

http://fdt.powerflasher.com/blog/?p=1347 It’s no secret that I love FDT. The above link is a special promotion FDT is putting on for the month of March that allows you to save a few hundred $$$ on FDT by showing them you already own a competing product (usually Flex Builder). I completely agree with everything Jesse wrote in this post: [...]

haXe Tutorial

John Lindquist — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 16:10:49 +0000

This tutorial is for anyone who has heard about haXe, but never had the time to figure out how to set it up. If you guys show a lot of interest in learning more about haXe, I’ll put together a few more tutorials on some of the features, but as of right now I have [...]

AS3 Signals Tutorial

John Lindquist — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 18:13:32 +0000

AS3 Signals is an awesome open-source project created by Robert Penner that will make you re-think the way you approach events in all of your future projects. I put together this video tutorial (mostly to force myself to learn it) and I’ve been REALLY impressed with it so far. Go ahead and give it a [...]

Preferred Video Tutorial Resolution?

John Lindquist — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 17:03:34 +0000

I’m getting ready to put together some more video tutorials. If you have 2 seconds to spare, please vote in the poll on the right to help me decide what resolution to target. Just fyi, up until now, I’ve always done 1024×768 and I think they’ve worked out pretty well, but now that Youtube is [...]

TweenMax – Tweening a timeline (Advanced Tweening)

John Lindquist — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 22:38:00 +0000

It’s been a really busy week doing a lot of interactive motion work, so no time to work on my Theme Designer, but here’s a little trick I picked up this past week from Jack. Tweening a timeline allows you to create multiple tweens and then apply one ease to the whole group. Neat trick, [...]

Robotlegs + Flight + Union Platform

John Lindquist — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 15:18:54 +0000

So, I was distracted from finishing my FDT theme generator by a discussion on the Robotlegs mailing list suggesting the possibility of merging Robotlegs with Flight. It sounded like an interesting challenge, so the above chat room is my initial attempt at it. Go ahead and click the “Connect” button to try [...]

Back in the saddle

John Lindquist — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 14:35:51 +0000

I took off the last couple weeks to be with my wife and new baby (caution: cuteness overload below): I should finish up my theminator project in the next couple days.
