I am a visual learner. This fact has made it challenging for me, and other designers, to pick up development whether it be ActionScript, JavaScript, CSS, or any language or mark up that results in a visual interactive interface. This right brain mentality is arguably why so many graphic and web designers stopped adopting ActionScript [...]]]></description>

In the last few months I&#8217;ve played with creating a number of generative visuals or generative visual interactives. This entails building a Flash application that contains a number of randomized visual creations but also allows me to have control over color, composition, and some drawing aspects. I&#8217;ve spread a few of these visuals around and [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve had some time to experiment more with BitmapData and specifically the fillRect(); method. I hope to utilize some of this soon when creating a new site for myself. Below is another example showing how efficient this type of animation can become.

A recent project required me to set up a parallax system, of which I&#8217;ve done a hundred times probably, starting with AS1. However, I&#8217;d never built a class to handle this rather simple functionality. With this project request, I thought that I&#8217;d just re-purpose my AS3 Auto-Panning Class. However with my Auto-Panning Class, I realized [...]]]></description>
