Now that some of the Flash Catalyst hype has died down some, this demo is sure to get some of its potential fans pretty excited all over again. Here is Kevin Lynch’s Keynote from the Web 2.0 conference where he shows how to build a full application using Illustrator, Flash Catalyst, Flex Builder, Flex and the Facebook ActionScript 3 API.
I know Flash Catalyst was meant to bring life to static comps with extreme ease, but WOW it looks like it is bringing a whole new level to “ease of use”. Hmmmm…I just wonder what that code looks like! Enjoy the video!
With all the recent developments with 3rd party libraries being supported in AS3, I am still shocked to see people still asking the question “Why ActionScript 3.0?”. I simply do not get it as AS3 presents so many more pros than cons.
It is almost as if ActionScript 3.0 is the monster in the closet that some people would rather just avoid then confront. For those who have migrated over, we have found out that it is not the infamous monster in the closet. Instead, it turned out to be a hanging sweater casting a monstrous shadow.
For those still asking themselves the question of “Why ActionScript 3.0?”, check out this parody video on the topic. Cracks me up every time!
Last week’s announcement of Adobe’s releasing of the new AS3 Facebook API definitely brought upon a cheerful buzz within the Flash/Flex community. So, now that there is a new look to the AS3 Facebook API, I am sure many of you would like to take a deeper look into how you can take advantage of this new library in your Flash/Flex projects.
In this video, Daniel Dura shows you how to use Flex Builder to develop your first Flash application on the Facebook Platform using the ActionScript 3.0 Client Library for Facebook Platform API. The video is about 12 minutes long and if you’ve got the time you should definitely check it out.
Ryan Stewart talks to Matt Chotin about the new Thermo design and upcoming additions to the Flex SDK. Then he shows you FXG, a new graphics interchange format supported in Flex 4, code-named “Gumbo”.
If after watching this video gets you all revved up for Flex 4, then, head over and download the latest build of the Flex SDK.

Since Adobe announced its latest version of the Creative Suite, Lee Brimelow has put together a great video demonstrating some of the new features of Flash CS4 experience. These new features are definitely creating a huge buzz from within the Flash community and it is nice to see Adobe’s evangelists hyping it up even more. Well done, Lee.
Ted on Flex recently posted this video by Justin Everett-Church that demonstrates the new features that are coming in Flash Player 10. In this video, Justin breaks down portions of 3D, custom filters and effects, and the new text layout engine. You will also learn about the features that increase performance like Vector, the drawing API and visual performance enhancements.
Check out Matt, as he adds to the already existing hype of Adobe CS4. This guy definitely brings out a whole new meaning of “being passionate at what you do”. You’ve got to give the him credit, he’s actually getting pretty good at these videos.
