Cool Stuff with the Flash Platform - 12/16/2011
Posted on Dec 16, 2011
The year is almost over and, if you are like me, you are already getting ready to go on holiday. Nonetheless, the community keeps pumping out new and great tutorials and projects. I did take a moment yesterday to call out some of the best Flex community bloggers of 2011 and hope to do the same for Flash next week. On another note, it occurred to me over the past week's that there was enough new material from the community purely focused on Stage3D in Flash Player to warrant its own section. So, this week features that section with a number of new tutorials and open-source library/framework releases related to Stage3D.

This was another week that was heavy on blog posts focused on Stage3D and AIR native extensions for the desktop. There were also a number of new open source projects or demos across the Flash platform including for mobile development and for ColdFusion.

A lot of tutorials this week with a heavy focus on Stage3D and AIR native extensions. Both of these topics have continued to be extremely hot topics in the community. In fact, with the preponderance of Flash content the past couple weeks, I have reordered the content categories below to, hopefully, better reflect the current level of discussion.
In addition, Flex 4.6 was released this week and it has a lot of new features including new components for tablet application development. Adobe evangelist Michael Chaize gives a solid rundown of many of the new Flex 4.6 features.

This week (in the US at least) we are giving thanks - so thank you to all the developers in the Flash and Flex community who contribute and share their knowledge with others. Thank you for continuing to prove the bias of many media outlets wrong and demonstrate Flash is very much alive. This week's hot topics seem to continue to be examples and demos using Stage3D and AIR native extensions.

Oh, so you thought the cool stuff was over? Well, the community is still creating cool stuff, Adobe is still creating the Flash Platform and I still love both. Now, if you are looking for my thoughts on many of our recent announcements, you can check my post on the topic as none of that will be covered here. Going forward perhaps the format of these posts will change but I plan to continue them and for the moment, the only change is that I am not linking to any of the discussions of our more controversial announcements this week. Rather I am truly just focused on the cool stuff the community created.
On that note, this is obviously a light week as folks were probably a bit distracted to blog. However, there was still some great content - for example check out the ApplicationFinder and AIRKinect native extensions for AIR 3 below!
