“Hi Nathalie, I came across your site a few days ago, and was intrigued by your involvement with ARG Marketing campaigns. Like you, I think ARGs are a great way to bring attention and eyeballs to a product, event etc. I have an app in development right now and am trying to determine the media [...]

Vimeo To Flash (The Crazy Simple Video Microsite)
Other than Youtube an easy, and significantly higher quality video service is Vimeo. It’s pretty much regarded as the professional version of Youtube because of the higher quality videos that you can upload and display without suffering horrendous compression. Vimeo Plus even allows you to embed HD videos… In unlimited amounts! Bang! Holy shit. The [...]
Programe E ALICE AIML Bot Using Flash (PHP & Actionscript Walkthrough + Source Files)
System requirements: *PHP (4.0.4 and up) *MySQL *Apache Server *Flash (If you found this via a google search… Source files for the Flash are at the end of the post…) I love playing around with bots, and especially love lurking on lists like Robitron. Projects like ChatScript & RiveScript are excellent ways of tickling the [...]
Actionscript 3 Code Snipplet of The Day: Enhanced “Typeof” Evaluation
typeof is handy but can be a little too flimsy at times. Basically all it really understands are only six possible values; boolean, function, number, object, string, and xml. If you want to run a conditional to check if you’ve got some common ethnic group, such as a movieclip, on your hands then it works [...]
Actionscript 3 XML Pinpoint Map (Simple Example of Parsing/Storing XML Into An Array)
Recently I was asked to throw together an interactive Flash pinpoint map of the US. The requirement was to use XML. It’s been a while since I used XML for dynamic content as such. I’ve been caught using PHP for absolutely everything. It’s nice. Going back to XML felt like jumping into a swimming pool [...]
Flash Actionscript 3 Countdown Timer Set To Servertime (PHP) – The Countdown You Can’t Cheat
I’ve been itching to do one for a long time since I keep being asked to do countdown timers. I don’t know why. No one I know ever has need to do one. It’s just one of those weird things that I keep ending up doing. Then there’s always that pesky deadline that keeps me [...]
Super Stupidly Simple Particle Effect (Actionscript 3.0)
Here’s a quick particle effect I threw together. Thought I’d put it up here… figuring it might help some hapless googler searching for a quick fix, since it’s a super simple class you can easily reuse or (quite possibly) extend… probably. Click here to preview. The AS (Particle.as) package { import flash.utils.Timer; import flash.events.TimerEvent; import [...]
Displaying IMAGES And MEDIA Files In A Flash Based Twitter Feed Reader
This is a follow up to my previous post “Loading Twitter Feeds Into Flash (Through PHP)” (Check it out for source code and other resources)… After successfully doing so, the next most obvious question of any Flash developer would be: “Wow, Flash is awesome! So, can I display images and media files in my Flash [...]
Loading Twitter Feeds Into Flash (Through PHP)
-Click to see. Supports ability to retweet, follow, and shows a profile pic. There are many cool things you can do with twitter. See Smashing Magazine’s article “50 Twitter Tools and Tutorials For Designers and Developers” I like it. Rather inspiring. Twitter is cool. You know you can even grab the coordinates of where the [...]
Twitter, Tiny URL, Stumble Upon, Facebook Share, Delicious, Google Buzz, IN FLASH (With Source Files)
DOWNLOAD SOURCE FILE Here’s a quick .fla based on quite a bit of digging I dun did, to figure out what buttons you can put into Flash to best enhance your sites social networking capabilities… Oh shit, ouch! Sorry. That last line sounded like I fell out of the marketing department. Of course this example [...]
Facebook LIKE In Flash (From Forums to Blogs…)
It has come to my attention that ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL of the facebook “like” button in Flash is a deed not as easy as it appears on the outset. It seems they made an API for everything except for “like”. On embarking into this task, the assumption of any Flash developer is the normal one. [...]

The Story of the Stories of the Death of Flash
The Question: What’s with this whole Flash is evil because it’s a plugin, down with all plugins, HTML5 is the new Flash…? Should I be worried? I feel like I just woke up out of a coma, and am missing something… The History: One day a cute little smartphone came out, called the iPhone. It [...]

I believe their attractiveness as an advertising model stems from the fact that they’re an easy way of “going viral”, although making a successful [...]
