FlashCamp Day 1

So, I’ve seen a bunch of new toys, I mean tools, but I don’t know of all the things I can do with them yet. For instance; what does the Pixel Bender do? I saw it demoed but I still can’t remember what it does; it distorts an image something like PhotoShop’s ‘Find the Edges’ or Polarization. But I can’t figure out why I need a tool to do that. – I’ll comeback to it later.

I was unable to install the FLA 10 player plug-in for Firefox, the installer insisted I had a copy of FF open when I didn’t.

I’m teaming with an Adobe employee, not an event organizer or ‘FLA Person’, Garnet Chaney, we are going to add features to a favorite game of his. – More later when I have a better handle on it.

I asked Garnet if he’d help me grammar-map an ActionScipt file; you know like we used to diagram sentences? I want to ID the functions/verbs & object/nouns & method/verb or adjective, etc. Also, what do the lines do, i.e., what determines what direction the loop is going in, etc.

Well, time to get back to my FLA/Adobe exploring, will check-in tomorrow afternoon, stay tuned…
