AS3 Tutorials - A compilation of the best ActionScript 3.0 Tutorials available online
Hi. My name is
Martin Legris and I thought that I would spend some time and create a site that offers a directory of the best resources to learn ActionScript 3 (all flavors) quickly and effectively.
I have some nice ideas for this site, and I will work on it when I get the time. For now, I started to gather content, so here is pure content (and nothing else!). If you would like to propose a tutorial, please email me
at mlegris _(at)_ newcommerce {dot} ca. Thank you!

Here’s a little experiment with loading fonts dynamically at runtime. So what’s this good for? Well let’s say you have a flash application where you want to allow users to customize the text formatting for some text box. Typically you would provide a small set of fonts which would all get embedded into the swf but this isn’t very flexible or ideal. Changing font’s or adding new one’s require rebuilding the swf. Also if only one or two fonts get used then all the other extra fonts do nothing but bloat the swf size. For this situation, it would be ideal to externalize the fonts and only load in the one’s needed.

There are several things I miss about FlexBuilder…the debugger, authoring-time error checking, code assistance, and the quick compiles to name a few. But perhaps the first thing you’ll miss when just using the free Flex SDK is your basic trace output window. Initially I had written a simple Ruby script to handle tracing to a terminal window. This was fine for awhile but as some of my projects grew bigger, I wanted more control over logging.

We present a versatile custom AS3 RainDisplay class which allows for the creation of a variety of 2D raindrops animations. The raindrops splash upon impact with the ground. Below, we show two examples to illustrate the basic use of the RainDisplay class
