Video: Animate Effect in Flex 4

Animate Effect in Flex 4, the next episode in the gripping and suspenseful series CodeDependent, is now available from Adobe TV.


This show gives a basic introduction to the new Animate effect, which is the superclass of all of the new effects in Flex 4. This effect enables new and interesting capabilities, such as animating multiple properties in parallel (versus the older AnimateProperty effect, which animates just one property per effect) as well as handling arbitrary types.



For giggles, I did some live coding in the video, which is a great way to amp up the pressure during filming. And for the record, most of the videos I've done so far, including this one, were shot in one take (something I far prefer, as it's a tad easier to feel spontaneous and dynamic when you're not repeating the same information for the nth time). This might also explain why I use the uncommon phrase, "Let's take a look at angrrizzat" in the video. Apparently, English is not my first language (perhaps it's ActionScript 3).


Here's the video:



Here is the demo application:



And here is the source code for both the Flex 3 and Flex 4 versions shown in the video.


Finally, here's where you can find the video on iTunes.


Enjoy.

Regardless of the optimism espoused by grinning leaders and sycophant press, we are entering the final stage of global economic collapse. It began in 2008 and was forestalled for five years with fudge putty, but the weight of global indebtedness cannot be propped any longer and the final crunch is imminent. Austerity measures herald the final throes.  Indications of coming austerity.   Austerity measures are the final last ditch effort, futile or not! Back in the day many of us old-timers went through periods of "hard-times". In retrospect I realize there is no comparison to yesteryear hard times and today's version. Back then, expectations were never very high for the working class, there were no sophisticated systems or conveniences anyway. In fact the difference between being "set" or not was about having treats or not. Si...
