Particle test center (5)

December 29th, 2009, under Actionscript.

For a while now, I am experimenting with this new experiment. I created an algorithm with nested sinus/cosinus, to show of some cool 3d looking particles (no there is no 3d in it). It is amazing to see how many particles flash can move. I used components from bit-101 to have some interaction.

ChainI created a useful util-class to make delayed function calling easy. You can make a chain of functions, by adding them with a delay in milliseconds. This chain can be executed multiple times, even in reversed order.

I’ve updated my Image class. It is irritating flashsites break the right-click contextmenu. Well, I can’t fix that and Adobe should look at that, but I think it would nice to add some of the browser – features to my image class.

Code snippetI found out the getBounds()-function gives not exactly the right rectangle with a TextField. It always matches the border bounds, even if the borders are invisible. So i’ve created a more accurate function using getColorBoundsRect().

Generative art: Tiger (0)

October 3rd, 2009, under Generative art.

Tiger represents power. I love to express strong animals with powerful lines. This one is created with actionscript (flash). I edited the composition with photoshop to add the text and changed contrast. The lines and letters are created generatively, using mouse gestures and random movements. I have worked hard to create this image, it is full with details, full of lines. Hope you like it.

I love eagles, they look very strong and powerful. This one is created with actionscript (flash). I edited the composition with photoshop to add the text and changed contrast. The lines and letters are created generatively, using mouse gestures and random movements. I have worked hard to create this image, it is full with details, full of lines. Hope you like it.

I like iGoogle. It’s very handy, because I can read my RSS-feeds everywhere I am. A while ago, I tried to personalize the header of iGoogle. I found the option to create your own skin, simply by uploading an image. I didn’t know the theme would be public, because I didn’t read the conditions. So, if anyone is interested.. Here is the iGoogle-theme:
