Vanderpol’s mysteries

Ever thought Flash could turn a picture into an ASCII art ?That’s the ascii generator…

Howdy people  !

Yesterday, I browsed Adobe Flash official website and realized it is full, yes, FULL of great exemples, bug free (rare on the internet), with the .fla sources and stuff.

If you are looking for rss readers, effects generators, Action Script 3 ascii art, effects Generators (blur, layer modes, dropped shadows), and much more, you have to visit the official page and download the pack.

Another tip. If you’re looking for a wordpress to display .swf and flash objects on your pages (I don’t think this one works for .flv , there area other plugins for that) : SWF Plug-ins for WordPress

Where to find as3 tutorials or ressources ?

I like http://yazo.net/, it’s David Tardiveau Action Script ressources. He is a teacher at Gobelins school.

It features explanations in french. It’s fantastic for beginners.

Howdy guys, here comes… part 2 ! Continuing the line art we started in the previous video tutorial, this sequel will show you how to put highlights, shadows and textures on the character’s clothes. I hope you will enjoy the background music as well…
