SWFMILL and MTASC
Daniel at protozoo beat me to the punch by adding in swfmill support to my PB & JaM setup.
I love where this is going.

ActionScript Animation: Making Things Move!
Well, I guess it’s official, seeing it’s listed on the Friends of ED website, but here’s what I’ve been busy at the last couple of months:

PB & JaM
Well MTASC seems to be the buzziest technology in the Flash world these days. Jester just coined the acronym FAME – Flashout, Eclipse, ASDT, MTASC. (I know he didn’t come up with the process, but I think he was the first to acronymize it.) While I’m sure the Eclipse route is great, I myself couldn’t be pried from PrimalScript, and have already posted my workflow here in a couple of other posts. Not to be outdone on acronyms though, I came up with one that describes my setup: PB & JaM: PrimalScript, Batch-files, JSFL and MTASC!

Flashbelt
I was asked to speak at this conference a while back. Couldn’t make it, but looks like some really good speakers will be there, with some interesting sessions. If you’re nearby, go check it out. Three days for $315 is not bad. (sorry, I posted an incorrect pricing earlier. Still, with the speakers listed, it’s a good deal!)

MTASC with Web Service and Remoting Classes
On the heels of the last post, another issue I ran into was with the remoting and web service classes. These are not included as external .as files at all, but are pulled into the swf in the swcs you put in your library. Thus, there is no way for mtasc to get at them.

The solution I came up with was to drag the remoting and web service swcs into a new fla, and publish it as a swf. Then I used ASV to decompile the swf. I then went to the ActionScripts tag and could see each class listed. Highlight each one and hit F12 to save it in the appropriate directory in your mx class path. Voila! Perfect compilation. -
MTASC and PrimalScript
I’ve been testing out MTASC recently. I started trying to use it for some large projects, but was running into a learning curve on getting all the class paths and so forth all in a row. I had deadlines and couldn’t afford to mess around with it, so shelved it for a while.
But now I have a little time on my hands and jumped back into it. One of the biggest annoyances was trying to fit all that stuff on the command line. I have a few different class paths going on, and my command line was getting rather long. Of course I was putting it in a batch file, but it was still getting unweildy.

Processing has gone Beta
It was scheduled for tomorrow, but looks like it’s a day early. Processing is now released as a publicly available beta download. The last public alpha was version 69. Ben and Casey gave out copies of 74 at FiTC, which I’ve been using for the last week or so: https://www.bit-101.com/p5, and is miles beyoned 69. The new version is 85, and I’m downloading it right now, so I can’t tell you how cool it is yet, but I’m sure I will soon!

FiTC Presentation Slides and Files on line
Finally got around to spending the 60 seconds it took to upload this stuff.

There’s the presentation exe itself, and the source fla. It’s all one file. The live examples are just movie clips on frames, double click to go inside and see the code. You’ll get the idea. -
Processing
Well, after seeing so many of Jared‘s and Robert‘s awesome Processing stuff, and after getting a chance to talk with Casey Reas in person, I’ve been motivated to start playing with processing again.

Casey had given out version 0074 at the conference, which is miles beyond the last version on the site.
Here’s my latest stuff:
