Here you can find a tutorial to build AIR apps, using the Google Maps API, in Flex Builder !

For more infos check the Google Maps API for Flash page.

The purpose of this project is to allow developers to compile C and C++ code into Action Script libraries (AVM2).
With Alchemy, we can now reuse hundreds of millions of lines of existing open source C and C++ client or server-side code on the Flash Platform with the high performance of C and C++.

The C/C++ codes are compiled to ActionScript 3.0 as a SWF or SWC that runs on Adobe Flash Player 10 or Adobe AIR 1.5 !

Adobe Flash Catalyst have now his own page on the Adobe lab here where you can find some demos !

You can also check the blog of the Adobe Flash Catalyst Team here where you can find some explorations & lessons !

You can read it here ! (sorry it’s in french :p )

You can download the last committed version here.

Current features :

* simple scene creation
* 3 primitive types
* base class for displaying user-created content
* plenty of styling option on vector based primitives
* integrates well with a variety of tween engines
* standard 3D isometric positional sorting

To check it :

* wiki
* online doc
* download page

And four tutorials :

* tutorial 1 : how to add an isometric primitive to the display list
* tutorial 2 : Learn to use an IsoScene to layout objects in 3D isometric space
* tutorial 3 : Styling an IIsoPrimitive class
* tutorial 4 : Introducing the IsoSprite class

The engine leverages the power of AS3 and SmartFoxServer

Two tech demos are available :

An example of a simple map containing a non-tiled 2D object.

Launch tech demo 1

An example of huge map(3200 tiles) with a lot of slopes,bridges and overpasses, showing the “3D capabilities” of the OpenSpace engine.

Launch tech demo 2

Maybe I will try it in a futur project.

- autoHide, sets the target’s visible to flase when the tweened alpha is 0.
- autoReverse, reverses the tween when it ends (and plays backwards if autoPlay is true).
- smartRotate, rotates in shortest direction
- supports using setSize for tweening height and width on components
- support for updating properties like matrix and colorTransform automatically during a tween.
- jump to any point in a tween by setting position.
- loop a tween by setting nextTween equal to the same tween.
- determine the state of a tween with the state and paused properties.

gTween is small(4.5 Kb) and fucking fast (1500 instances, 0.5s duration, ~25fps).
