Switching To AS3

I’m quite suffocated in work, just like usual, so blogging is quite light, as usual… ;) Don’t forget to visit Coobico if you like to see the latest and greatest from our ongoing project. I’ve switched to Actionscript 3 in the meantime and like to share some nice resources for Adobe’s current installment:

Greensock’s TweenMax
I stumbled upon the AS2-version TweenLite when looking for a lightweight animation-framework for Flash-banners. The revamped, bigger brother written in AS3 for me even outbeats the ubiquitous Fuse.

Yahoo’s Astra Components
You probably heard this earlier than me, but Yahoo’s Dev Network offers some really helpful components for Flash 9, like charts and various menu-UIs.

Grant Skinner’s Memory Gauge
Memory management in Flash is a mess — the excellent gBlog offers a simple component which monitors framerate and memory-allocation through drag & drop. Nifty! I was looking for something similar for quite a while.
