3D in Flash Player 10 and Flex 4 , the next episode in the gripping and suspenseful series CodeDependent , is now available from Adobe TV . In this show, we see some of the 3D capabilities in Flash Player 10 and how we take advantage of them for some of the new 3D effects in Flex 4. Here's the video: Here is the demo application: And here is the source code . Finally, here's where you can find the CodeDependent videos on iTunes . Enjoy.

First, some housekeeping announcements: The Adobe TV site (where my CodeDependent show is hosted) has been completely redone. The new site is much more searchable and functional than the previous one, so it's easier to browse around there and find the content you like. I'll continue to embed my CodeDependent videos here on my blog, but I encourage you to also check out the TV site itself and see what else is there. The embedded player from the TV site has been improved, so now you can expand the video below to run fullscreen. The URLs for shows like CodeDependent have also changed. The old links still work (for now at least), but I'll be using the new links from now on to link to the more comprehensible page http://tv.adobe.com/watch/codedependent instead of the older more obtuse "#vi+f16095" page. And now, back to our show. Shader Transitions in Flex 4 , the next episode in the gripping and suspenseful series CodeDependent , is now available from Adobe TV .

Pixel Bender Shaders in Flex 4 , the next episode in the gripping and suspenseful series CodeDependent , is now available from Adobe TV . In this show, we see how Pixel Bender Toolkit is used to create shaders that can then be used in Flash filters to change the display of objects on the screen. We then see how to use the new AnimateFilter effect in Flex 4 (which we discussed in a previous episode ) to animate the shader properties over time, enabling new and powerful transition effects. Note that the demo application shows a crossfade between two images, but the effect can be applied to any component or graphical object - shaders aren't just for images (I just happened to have the images handy when writing the application). Here's the video: Here is the demo application (pretty SF pictures courtesy photographer and Android-hacker Romain Guy ): And here is the source code . Finally, here's where you can find the CodeDependent videos on iTunes . Enjoy.
