The Flixel game engine is an opensource ActionScript 3.0 framework written by Adam Atomic. Its aim is to take the donkey work out of building AS3 games, leaving you with all the fun stuff and saving heaps of time!
In this, the first in a series of two screencasts, Shane Johnson takes you through the basics of Flixel, explaining how to build an awesome shoot ‘em up game from scratch.
To tie in with our Papervision3D Essentials giveaway, today’s tutorial also features a PV3D theme.
This two-part tutorial will show you how to get started with the Papervision3D engine, then how to make your creation jump out of the screen using an anaglyph effect in combination with 3D spectacles.
Packt Publishing is once again generously donating copies of one of their publications, this time to four lucky ActiveTuts+ Twitter followers! Papervision3D Essentials is a practical guide for creating 3D in Flash and is a great reference for every Papervision3D user.
To win one of four Papervision3D Essentials eBooks, all you need to do is ask! Read on to find out more..
In this beginner to intermediate tutorial I’m going to show you how to play HD video without the inevitable blurring that occurs when the video is enlarged.
The reason for this is that I’m getting a bit tired of visiting YouTube or other sites that present HD video with a full screen option only to discover, when I click the Full Screen button, that I suddenly need the prescription for my glasses changed.
The issue is not the video but how the Flash Player handles the process of going full screen. Let’s find out how to do things properly..
In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to use Flash, PHP and MySQL together. We’ll build a simple comment form that takes entries and stores them in a database. We’ll use PHP to retrieve the entries and format the comments into XML form. Let’s get going!
A CheckBox is a graphical user interface element that permits the user to make one or multiple selections from a number of options.
In this tutorial, we’ll create a Switch checkbox inspired by the iPhone Graphical User Interface. Read on to find out how!

In this tutorial I’m going to introduce you to HYPE, an ActionScript 3 framework released by Joshua Davis and Branden Hall on October 31, 2009.
The purpose of this introduction is not to get into the intricacies of the framework, but to walk you through a rather simple exercise designed to demonstrate some of the possibilities this Open Source project offers you.
Ever wondered how design guru Joshua Davis makes those choatic images? I did. With his art as inspiration I grabbed a cup of coffee and set out to mimic his style. This tutorial is aimed at designers and flash beginners, and documents my process of achieving something similar to Joshua’s early compositions.
There’s more literary goodness up for grabs on Activetuts+! This week will see copies of (hang on, this is a mouthful) O’Reilly’s ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook: Solutions for Flash Platform and Flex Application Developers being given away to three lucky readers!
