Returning after fifteen years

Hey, Flash devs! So I think I found a clever way to generate a no-code SWF, so if a site loads it and reads the Stage’s IGraphicsData… the… the uh…

does a double-take at the calendar

…how’s HTML5 treatin’ everybody? :sweat_smile:

It’s been treatin’ me pretty well. Occasionally, though, I can’t work out how to do in CSS what took five seconds in AS3, and I look online for help. And this time, I landed on a video presented by a friendly and helpful developer… named Kirupa!

Oh, you’ve heard of the guy?

I sure had, but not recently. Neurons that sat dormant through four summer olympics began to suddenly fire; a citrus-branded online forum, with helpful conversations and blissfully few visual distractions or injected ads; a garden full of tutorials, categorized and given pixely labels; something called a “senocular”; the past came flooding back. Some of it, anyway.

It’s good to see Kirupa Forum remains online and active. I can’t promise I’ll stay for too long, but I’m eager to learn what the community’s grown into and gotten up to!

@Rezmason - welcome back! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

The forums are fairly quiet these days, but I and a few others still check here regularly.

With AI, the kind of tutorial content this site is known for isn’t really in-demand any more. I am looking at ways of revitalizing things again, but work has kept me pretty busy overall.

Glad to see you are doing well and still doing fun technical things in the web space. You will be amazed at the number of people from back then who left the industry altogether.
