I think this is cool enough to have a post here...

As some of you may know, Macromedia (fuck Adobe!) is already working on the next version of Flash (Flash 9) which will introduce ActionScript 3. The way of coding in ActionScript3 is totally different from ActionScript1, so I'll probably jump directly to ActionScript3. I'm right now still trying to move to program with Classes and stuff.

Anyway, you may think, so what's the new stuff in Flash9? Usually the people think that in each version they don't do too much.. Well, they do quite a lot, but mainly for Actionscript (which it what it needs). Now is turning to something similar to JAVA, which is cool. There is a lot of new functions and things you can do, but one of the coolest one is that with AS3 you'll be able to read binary files, parse them and stuff like that. So, don't be surprised if I tell you that people already did a C64 emulator.



(You will need Flash 9 player beta in order to see it.)

I wonder how my demoscene effects may look when moving to AS3.

Btw, If you want to read more about that C64 emulator done in flash, check out this blog.

Bah ... no se, cada día odio más flash. Se está convirtiendo en un batiburrillo de cosas, queriendo hacer todo, sin tener nada acabado o perfectamente hecho del todo... Tiene sus ventajas... pero me crispa los nervios :D

No a ver ... claro que ponen cosas nuevas en cada versión, por supuesto. Lo que pasa es que odio que lo hagan cuando no han acabado de hacer bien las que habían puesto en la anterior, solo eso.
