Here is a great tool that you can convert Flash Timeline codes to the document classes. It works perfectly. The only thing you do is, just copy timeline code into the empty textarea below, then put a name for your document class. When you press “submit” button, a php script generates your document class code at once. Thanks to Zevan Rosser for this converter tool. By the way, he is a smart coder. Many of Zevan’s codes are too short, but also functional. You should check his blog also for some kind of unique tutorials.
AS3 Timeline Code to Document Class Converter

I’ve been programming with as3 for two years and everyday I come across with a new stuff Today, I was checking a as class and encountered with “with” keyword. There is no magic about “with” keyword. But, it allows you to write cleaner codes. Here is a little example how it works;

with (graphics)
{
	clear();
	beginBitmapFill(_bitmapdata);
	moveTo(0, 0);
	lineTo(pWidth, 0);
        lineTo(pWidth, pHeight);
	lineTo(0, pHeight);
	lineTo(0, 0);
	endFill();
}

I’ve been looking for frameworks in order develop flash-based web sites for a long time. I haven’t checked any of these frameworks yet. Because, it takes a lot of time to get into a new programming environment for me. Also, when I’m working on a commercial project, I don’t want to waste my time with new classes, methods and etc.. to develop web based appilcation. Because, your customers don’t care about how the background of their web sites are created. They just want to see final result quickly

Anyway, For a long time, I’ve been coding with Flex and don’t want to use Flash hereafter. In my opinion, Flash can’t be a framework for coding action script language. I mean, I can’t imagine a framework that has no suggestion option while I’m coding an application. So, I searched for some frameworks which can be used without Flash. At this point, I encountered with PureMVC framwork. But there are no tutorial about how to use it in Flex…I googled some tutorials about PureMVC and here they are;

And there is an other Flash framework which called Gaia. The only disadvantage for me is, you can only use Gaia with Flash. But, Gaia has some tutorials about how to setup and work with it in their web-site.

“Flash Ödülleri” web design awards, by http://www.flasharsivi.com – a member of Adobe Flash User Group in Turkey-  emerged from the idea to have a contest among the members of the web site,  in 2008.

The contest aims  to increase the use of Flash software and encourage designers to create action script (programming language) based web sites.

Alp Tuğan’s two web design works were nominated for the first 30 designs of 2010. and got the second and

the sixth place in the “Flash Ödülleri” contest that is also sponsored by Adobe Company this year.
