This Flash-based Mandelbrot Plotter allows you to create and save beautiful images of the Mandelbrot set. The application is full of zooming and coloring features which give you a great amount of control over your images. The images can be large and can be saved in JPEG or PNG formats.

Playing Cards: Custom Classes for Playing Cards in ActionScript 3 A preview of AS3 classes under development at Flash and Math. We show an example where a deck is shuffled and a hand of five cards is dealt with a nice flipping motion of each card.

Cosmic Tubes: Cosmic Smoke Tubes – A Mesmerizing Particle Effect in AS3 Flash We never tire of playing with particle effects here at flashandmath. This latest example is the result of some playful experimentation with code. Smoky, fading away particles are created by dynamically writing Sprites to a Bitmap and applying a variety of filters and ColorTransforms. In particular, we replaced the BlurFilter from our earlier examples by the DisplacementMapFilter. The results are intruiging.

3D Snow Effect: A 3D Snowfall Effect with Realistic Turbulence and Sense of Depth in AS3 Flash We present a highly realistic 3D snowfall effect. The motion is driven by an acceleration field determined by Perlin noise. That creates a characteristic turbulence of snow motion. We use BlurFilter for flakes that are very far away or very close to the camera which, together with parallax effect, gives very real perception of depth. Download and play with the code!

Flash CS5 3D Text: Flash CS5: Cool 3D Text Effect, Embedding Fonts via TextFlow.fontLookup Text is loaded dynamically at runtime. Thanks to the new TLF methods, the body of the text is split into separate lines. The lines are tweened in 3D and colorized creating a cool, wavy 3D effect. Moreover, fonts are embedded into TextFlow with the TextFlow.fontLookup property without using the TLFTextField class. Works beautifully on Android 2.2!

New How-To: How To Randomly Choose Any Number of Elements from an Array Whether you are trying to simulate the dealing of a hand of playing cards, scramble images, or randomly choose quiz problems, you will face this problem. We show an easy solution. We use and explain the basic methods of the Array class: Array.concat and Array.splice.

Card Trick: Playing Cards Trick in AS3 Flash The card trick uses a packet of four cards with one initially reversed. The user is allowed ‘shuffle’ the packet. Regardless of the amount of shuffling, the suit of the card that will be reversed with respect to the others in the end is predicted and displayed ahead of time. Works great on Android 2.2! Custom AS3 classes that shuffle, flip, and cut cards are provided.

Dripping Blood: Spooky Effects in AS3 Flash: Text Dripping Blood A touch of Gothic at Flash and Math. We present dynamic blood dripping effects. You can make any display object drip blood, you can change the amount of blood, the speed, the splashing effect. Works great on Android 2.2.

We explain the code and the details of the perlinNoise method and the DisplacementMapFilter.

New Low CPU Clouds: AS3 Flash: Low CPU Clouds Animation – Perfect for Mobile In our our recent tutorial on clouds effect via BitmapData.perlinNoise and ColorMatrixFilter, we presented a nice clouds animation but very CPU intensive. Here we present a version that is CPU efficient, runs very well on Android 2.2, and can be used to generate large images. We show two examples in which we generate 500 by 380 animations.

Stanford Bunny: AS3 Flash: Stanford Bunny and New Collection of 3D Particle Surfaces We’ve been having a lot of fun here at flashandmath with surfaces made of particles. So we present the Stanford Bunny and other new beautiful surfaces with modification of earlier effects, a significant optimization of the code, and a simple z-sorting method. The optimized code allows for revolving in 3D over 200,000 particles.

Simple Particle Tutorial: Pixel Particles Made Simple – AS3 Flash Tutorial Curiously, pixel particles that are behind most particle effects are not display objects. In this tutorial we explain the nature of pixel particles. We give a simple example that shows how to create and move particles and how to make them leave shadowy trails. Our example handles comfortably as many as 200,000 particles.

Color Fountain: Color Fountain – Interactive Particle Effect in AS3 Flash Interesting interactive particle effect. Pixel particles move based on their position but also based on their color and the colors of neighboring pixels via attract/repel action. The motion creates a pretty ‘color fountain’.

100,000 3D Particles: 100,000 Glowing 3D Particles Run Smoothly in Flash Player 10.1 More examples of our popular ‘particles made of light’. New surfaces, more particles, new effects, and a custom performance monitor. We discovered great performance improvement in FP 10.1 v. FP 10. Awesome!

Create and Save Images: Create and Save Beautiful Images of Math Curves In this effect, we use families of planar curves to create and save interesting images. We show how to draw a DisplayObject to a BitmapData via BitmapData.draw and how to save an image from SWF via FileReference.save method.

3D Particles Made of Light: 3D Particles Made of Light – AS3 Dynamic Flash Effect Thousands of particles which appear to be made of light form beautiful revolving surfaces in 3D space.

3D Particle Effect: Astronaut – 3D Particle Effect in AS3 Flash CS4 We present a new 3D particle effect: Astronaut. We animate 15,000 particles with a beautiful effect.

3D Rings Photo Gallery: 3D Revolving Rings: An Interesting Photo Gallery in AS3 Flash CS4 We present a 3D photo gallery in which rings of two-sided thumbnails revolve in 3D. The gallery is easily customizable via an XML file.

Extract and Combine RGB: AS3 Flash: Extracting and Combining RGB Components, Custom Color Picker We present a nice custom color picker but our real goal is to present formulas for extracting RGB components from a color value, combining RGB componets into a color value, and rewriting a color in its HEX form.

Flash CS4 3D Cube: 3D Display Cube with a Versatile Custom AS3 Class in Flash CS4 Each instance of the DisplayCube class accepts any DisplayObjects as sides, it revolves in 3D, its sides respond to clicks. Moreover, the cube drops shadow in 3D! We show an application with three Bitmap cube menus that drop dynamic shadows on the floor beneath as they rotate. We use simple FP10 3D methods.

Flash CS5 3D Text: Flash CS5: Double 3D Text Effect with TLF Text Text is loaded dynamically at runtime. Thanks to the new TLF methods, the body of the text is divided between two 3D boards and split into separate lines. Each line flips in 3D with a tween. Super cool!

Function Grapher with Zoom and Pan: Function Grapher with Zooming and Panning In this tutorial, we present a math function grapher which has a drag and drop panning and mouse click zooming functionality.

Flash CS4 Game: ‘Catch Chameleon Fish’ Game in AS3 Flash CS4 Check out this cool little game. You can use it as a tutorial about blend modes and sound in AS3, or you can simply enjoy catching chameleon fish.

Flash CS5 Text Effects: AS3 Flash CS5: Cool Text Effects with TLF Text We load TLF markup text at runtime, use a custom TextSlicer AS3 class to split the text into lines, and then tween, slide, zoom, fade in, and color. We show how to use the new AS3 classes available in Flash CS5 to accomplish a variety of interesting text effects.

Flash CS5 Tutorial: Flash CS5: XML Markup and Runtime Loading of TLF Text with AS3 The new TLF text AS3 classes are extremely useful for creating cool text effects, particularly if you can import your text on the fly, at runtime. In this tutorial, we show how to create a text file or an XML file containing TLF markup, load the file at runtime, and display the dynamically loaded text.

Flash CS5 Tutorial: Multicolumn Text on the Fly with New AS3 TLF Text Classes in Flash CS5 We show how to use the new AS3 text layout classes: TextFlow, ContainerController, TextLayoutFormat, and properties like TextFlow.flowComposer to lay out and format text programmatically. In our example, the number of columns in the layout can be changed on the fly by dragging a slider.

Flash CS5 Video Tutorial: New AS3 Text Layout Classes in Flash CS5 – Tour and Example In this video tutorial we present an overview of the new AS3 classes available in Flash CS5, and give an example of an accordion-pleated text effect built using these classes. The new AS3 classes allow for creating linked text fields programmatically and give precise control over text layout.

Flash CS5 Video Tutorial: A Real Life Application Built with Flash CS5 Code Snippets Only In this video tutorial, we present a real life application – a showcase consisting of opening and closing folders that contain clickable thumbnails. The application is built from Code Snippets – a new feature of Flash CS5. Not one line of AS3 code was entered by hand.

Flash CS5 Video Tutorial: Custom Code Snippet in Flash CS5 that Zooms in and Spins in 3D In this video and written tutorial, we show how to create a custom snippet and add it to the Code Snippets panel. The snippet spins an object in 3D and at the same time brings the object forward in a Star Wars kind of effect.

Flash CS4 3D: The focalLength of a Custom PerspectiveProjection in Flash CS4 3D …is not what you might think. You create a PerspectiveProjection object, pp = new PerspectiveProjection(), and set pp’s properties. When you assign pp to transform.perspectiveProjection of a DisplayObject, focalLength changes. How? Why? We explain in this tutorial. The value of focalLength is crucial for effective 3D depth-sorting.

Incredibly Smooth Mouse Drawing: A Smooth and Responsive Drawing Application in AS3 Flash We present a drawing application which allows you to create smooth and dynamic lines with a very responsive feel. The lines change thickness and color depending on how fast you move your mouse.
