Cool Stuff with the Flash Platform - 12/9/2011
Posted on Dec 09, 2011
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.

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!

A lot of great tutorials and projects in this week's update including: a discussion of orientation versus deviceOrientation from Adobe's Tom Kraikit, performance testing blitting versus frame assignment on AIR for iOS by Michel Wacker, a new isometric engine for Flash Player 11 and Starling from Jonathan Dunlap, and an extensive tutorial on encoding live video to H.264/AVC using Flash Player 11 from RealEyes Media - among many other outstanding entries.
