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: [...]

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

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.

Eclipse Theme Designer Preview

John Lindquist — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 02:38:28 +0000

I received tons of questions asking about my color scheme in my RobotLegs video and I realized what a pain it is to customize your colors within Eclipse. So, here’s a little preview of the Eclipse Theme Designer (code-named “Theminator”) that I’m working on. I should have FDT support for AS3 ready sometime next week and [...]

RobotLegs Hello World Video Tutorial

John Lindquist — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:14:48 +0000

Hey everyone. Long time, no see. I’ve just been super busy leading a team of flash guys on a big project which has left very little time for experiments and playing with code. Anyway, hopefully I’ll get back into my routine and get a few posts out a week again. This post comes courtesy of Joel [...]

10 Things Every Senior Flash Developer Should Know

John Lindquist — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 22:43:25 +0000

I’ve interviewed quite a few Flash/Flex developers as potential employees for Roundarch. The hard part for me is knowing exactly what questions to ask to be able to gauge a Flash dev’s skill level. So, I made a list. From my experience this list allows me to judge the skill level and experience of the devs [...]
