Was browsing around the net for resources and then found these interesting links on physics inside Flash. Cool.

UnitZeroOne Daily dose for Flash application.


BlinkVille
A highly interactive site that lets you post message onto it, well, to leave a mark. But for sure, it's really awesome, and the backend and coding although not revolutionary, but it's far than surpasses any Malaysian site ever created yet. So far. From (if) interactive.


FLV Meta Data Injector
A very useful application I found from Buraks which injects meta data into your FLVs so it's crawlable by search engines, and also, if i'm not mistaken there are also SWF MDI somewhere around the net where you also able to let search engine to crawl swf's meta data injected to it.


Old-Film Webcam Effect on-the-fly using Flash 8
Here's a site that i've ran through that provides a really nifty codes that let you run in Flash8 that produces an old-film-alike effect in your webcam output.



The Black Sheep
One very cool mention here, The Black Sheep is actually a graduation campaign from one local design college in Malaysia, but I won't mention about it. Anyway, why it's here? That's because of the quality of build are put inside the site, dynamically and interactive. And powered by XHTML and CSS. I salute the team behind it.

CamMover Prototype Version 0.3 ( 11st July 2006)

+++++Using the Script++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Basically the video attached on the stage are for
reference only, which you can remove it, but if you
notice, i've offset the BitmapData outside of the stage
which it replicates the Orangebutton's position.
Same goes as well for the Orange square, you can hide it
using _visible = 0 or setting the alpha to 0.

And if you look closely as well, there is one green tiny
dot appeared running around the video, you can also
hide it from appearing with setting the alpha/visible.

+++++Author's Note+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Currently i'm still working on different navigation
or interaction possiblity with this webcam input.
There are still lots of bugs to fix at the moment
but I guess it's way better than the first prototype
i produced which taken the example from Guy Watson's
fla file, which is way heavier and laggy even on a
3.0ghz machine, and it would crash whenever it runs
for a long time. But it has not been tested on this file
yet. Let me know if this file also crash on a long run.

There are basically around 3 type of different interaction
until this moment.
1. Scrolling through a picture gallery
2. Control a 3D cube (which you'll be able to select one of it)
3. Drawing with your body + sound

But of course most of it only uses 1-point interaction,
I'm looking forward on implementing a two point interaction
so it would be possible to use 'zoom-in/out' or 'rotating'
the canvas in the future. But if you know of any solution.
Let me know about it ya. Thanks a lot.

Drop me a comment on what you think if you decide to
use it on your project. And i would be glad to see how
far it would go to.

p.s. - reason i'm doing this? I think by sharing this would make the community better, especially
when OSflash is promoting on how to make the flash community better.

p.s.s. - but ONE serious note here ya, if you knew anyone that misuse this source for their own commercial use, without noticing me and give credit back, let me know i'll sue that person off until the end of this world. :D
