Cool Stuff with the Flash Platform - 4/26/11
Posted on Apr 26, 2011
A ton of great content this week from the Flash Platform community. Among my personal favorites include a number of outstanding posts from Christophe Coenraets about iOS development with Flex and AIR, videos from Lee Brimelow showing games running on iOS using AIR, a sweet looking carousel layout from Tink, a runtime bitmap tracer from Claus Wahlers, an RGB color wheel tracker from Didier Brun and Todd Sharp open sourcing his ColdFusion-based and widely used presentation sharing site.
On a side note, sorry that the schedule has been screwy due to my vacation last week. I will try to resume normal Friday postings this week.

If last week was kind of light, this week more than made up for it.

As weeks go, this was light on the number of posts, though there's a lot of meat in the 20 or so posts included in this week's update. Perhaps people are looking ahead to next week with 360|Flex in Denver that is sure to include some big announcements from both Adobe and the community. Nonetheless, between Serge Jespers sneak peak of Flash Builder, Marco Scabia's overview of AGAL for Molehill or Ben Nadel's use of a facial detection API in ColdFusion to name just a few, there's still plenty of awesome stuff this week.

Not as many releases in this week's update aside from the AIR 2.7 beta for desktops. However, this week included some impressive tutorials and code samples such as the Flex on iOS preview from Michaël Chaize, a Molehill 3D augmented reality demo by Evgeniy Zatepyakin and a Kinect/Flash mapping application from Mansour Raad.
