I'm learning Flash CS3 + Actionscript 3.0 lately. Right now I'm focusing in the AS3 rather than the animation part. Going straight into AS3 without passing through AS1/2 is really a good thing since AS3 is revamped from the core. However, AS3 is still considered as a new toy, the resources are pretty much limited, translating codes in tutorial from AS2 to AS3 is really a pain in the ass for beginners. Well, the easiest way to learn a new language is to build something.
[b]D's Flash Slideshow[/b]
So this is my first flash thingy. It's a slideshow thing that I've wanted for quite some time. Some features of it:
[list]
[*]Able to scretch/fit any image according to the display area size (320x240)
[*]Image list are stored in XML file (you can specify the path)
[*]A bar for progress indication (preloader bar)
[*]Caption & image counter is can be turn on/off according to settings
[*]Slideshow interval can be set according to your pleasure
[*]You can pause and resume the slideshow
[*]Background color can be changed
[/list]
Well, it's just another flash slideshow that you can find anywhere. I've even seen many people selling/buying for this sort of simple thing. $$$$ Learning Flash CS3 is really stressful if you have an old computer that's slow on processing speed and low in memory. Too bad, I'll have to bear with it for the time being.
Off topic: It seems that there aren't any decompiler or encryption program exists yet for Flash 9.
