Recently I saw very nice IDE, designed for the HTML5 in the beta stage.
You can work with vector graphics, timeline-based animations, and more.
It’s a Radi!
Check out some examples:

You could create a nice and smooth “color blink” effect for any DisplayObject, including TextField instances with a few lines of the code using TweenMax:
import com.greensock.easing.Cubic;
import com.greensock.plugins.ColorMatrixFilterPlugin;
import com.greensock.plugins.EndArrayPlugin;
import com.greensock.plugins.TweenPlugin;
import com.greensock.TweenMax;
/* run this line only once (as example, you can put it into the main document's constructor or your initialization function) */
TweenPlugin.activate([ColorMatrixFilterPlugin, EndArrayPlugin]);
/*and use this line later to start blinking */
TweenMax.to(anyDisplayObject, 1, {colorMatrixFilter:{colorize:0x74F88E, amount:1}, repeat:-1, yoyo:true, ease:Cubic.easeInOut} );
By the way, be careful with TintPlugin or ColorTransformPlugin while tweening TextFields with TweenMax – you can notice some lags or jerks in the tween animation.
This is a great project!
To be short – just try it and enjoy nice visuals for the music from the soundcloud or form your hard disk.
You can read the cool blog post about APEXvj born from it’s creator and evoflash member.
Simo, thank you for this really nice thing, it’s amazing!
So, this is a first post here.
Just launched this blog and personal site with one recent experiment.
Great thanks to:
– Dan Gries for his perfect perlin-based snowfall engine
– Christian Corti for his awesome AS3 Amiga Soundtracker Module Replay class (FLOD)
(it could be a flashModPlug, but sources or swc are not released to the public yet)
– 0xFFFFFF and Flastar for support and useful comments
– my girl for patience and care while I was busy with this experiment
If you like that Amiga snow and want it’s source – just comment here and I’ll see – maybe I’ll clean it a bit and prepare for a public.
