Well, today I am back at the house from FiTC (actually got home last night) and I just wanted to talk about some of the stuff I saw when I was there. As usual, the conference was awesome and inspirational so I just wanted to quickly go through a couple of the cool presentations. Read more »
Well, it’s time to start heading off to Flash in the Can. I’ll be back on Thursday morning so you won’t see any activity here for a few days as I’m not even bringing my computer (getting away from computers to see more… computers). Have fun everyone!
So as you’ve probably noticed by now, I’ve added Google AdSense to the blog. I figured that not everyone can make a monetary donation so this was a good alternative. It should only display 3 ads per page so it won’t get too cluttered and I opted for the smaller 468×60 ads. If you’d like to “help the cause”, and every bit helps, please just click an ad here and there and it’ll filter its way through to me. I’ve also added a link under each title of each post called “Show Some Love” which is a direct link to the PayPal donation page. Again, none of this is required but I really do appreciate it and it’s a good way to give back for all the hard work that goes into maintaining this blog.

If you’re headed to Flash in the Can next weekend then there is a chance we will run into each other. I will be there checking out the Flash presentations and I look forward to just hanging out. If you want to get together for a drink or two let me know. See you all there.
I went ahead and added a Donors page for the donations that were made to the site recently. I’d like to thank my first two donors, Rick Talavera and Jack Doyle, for helping the cause. It is greatly appreciated. You will notice that once you donate you get a nice little link to your site on the page. Not a huge deal but maybe it can drive some traffic back your way as a token of my appreciation. Thanks guys!
As someone who is a beginner starting out with developing in Flash, it’s not always easy to figure out how to tween things through code and what products to use. There are more than enough tweening engines out there to make your head spin and some are more well known than others. Here I hope to shed a bit of light on what tweening engines can do what and are best used in what situation. Read more »
