i presume that at least mods’ve read “FLASH SAMURAI”.
i was just wondering, why the hell won’t kirupians do something like FS ??
Some of you have the AS knowledge, some Desing-abilities… U COULD BE LIKE 2AS IF U JUST WANTED 2 B!!!
flash samurai?
Geoff Stearns - living flash
Torben Nielsen & Michael Brandon Williams - 3d in flash
Jobe Makar - physics laws in flash
Allan Kenedy - sound in flash
Eric E. Dolecki - module based flash
Max Oshman - connecting AS with dynamic web contents
Til Mauder & Oliver Shaw - interface creations
Michael Grundvig - flash and XML
Klaus L. Hougesen - JavaScript and flash
must i say more??
i haven’t heard of flash samurai, what is it? a movie? a game? those people forming a team? a site?
group of people from all over the world created a book to help noobs learn flash
this book kicks ***
they all know each other by internet…
amsng
ahh, thats really cool and a good idea for the forum
we already talked about this. see there is such a big competition for flash right now…its hard to sell. thats why kirupa wont write one and sticks to Frontpage. but it would be a good idea.
ahh, that sucks. maybe we could do something else all together though. that sounds awesome. maybe a cartoon or movie or something integrating all of the forums skills
lol we tryed that too…search for kirupaVille
you have a link to this book or am I going to have to find it myself
i mean something that can be let out of the forums, no body outside of the forum would be able to really enjoy kirupaville as they would a book or something else we made
Here’s the link since I was ignored
cool, maybe i will pick that up…
thats such a good idea for a forum who helps people to come together to make a book. looks really good too
The idea sounds nice, but the market is saturated with Flash books. This could be part of the reason why friends of ED is supposedly going bankrupt. Publishers believed that Flash would create a new wave of designers and developers who would buy their books such as what people did when C++ and Java were becoming popular.
Alas, most people, while they bought books, learned to use tutorial sites for all the help and such. Unlike Java and C++ (esp. C++), the internet helped make Flash learning a lot easier. While books such as those might be very useful, only reference books such as the ASDG and books on hard-to-find topics will sell well
That’s why a book is very unreasonable for Flash imho.
Cheers!

YES!! THANK YOU KIRUPA! YOU ARE THE MAN!
well, while that might be true, I think a book geared towards something SPECIFIC in flash would sell… I haven’t seen many books on setting up a flash online store, or a book about artistic design in flash…
i wasn’t talking about the book!!!
what i ment was creating something all 2gether…
but dunno what
ooh, that’s what the K-team was created for. I think you’ll find threads on it in Random. I am sure others will fill you in on the details of it.
Cheers!
