Cool Stuff with the Flash Platform - 11/23/2011
Posted on Nov 23, 2011
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.

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.

Lots of really great tutorials, demos and more again this week. Starling and Stage3D continue to be a hot topic with a number of people doing various hardware and software performance tests. Also, of course, we get details on the beta releases of Flash Player 11.2 and AIR 3.2 on Adobe Labs.

An incredibly busy week again this week with a ton of articles and blog posts, especially on the subject of Starling and/or Stage3D for Flash Player 11. It's nice to see that people are excited about the possibilities that these tools create.
On the excitement part, this week I am excited to be attending RIA Unleashed he is Boston (technically Waltham though) which is going to feature a ton of sessions and workshops by some amazing speakers. This was my conference up until this year when I handed the reigns over to the event experts at FITC who appear to have a great show lined up for us. If you are on the East Coast - or in the Northeast especially - you should consider attending as there are still a few tickets for the Friday conference day available.

As I noted in my prior update yesterday, this past week, which included MAX of course, had way too much stuff to cover in a single update. Today's update is focused entirely on tutorials, code samples and open source projects from the Flash Platform community - with none of the press coverage or official announcements that I covered yesterday. For those of you with whom I did not get to chat directly at MAX, let me say that there really is just so much great stuff within the Flash community that you guys continue to daily impress me. Keep up the great work!
