Swirling Line Thing

[TheCanadian]

I made this a while ago for someone on the forums and thought it was worthy of here. Attached is the original file (lineThing.swf) as well as a beefed up version (SwirlLineExample.swf). And thanks to senocular’s tutorial on using AS3 without MXML, I have also made an AS3 version (SwirlApp.swf).

Thanks for all the comments guys, I’m glad you like it :kommie:

@aussie devil

Whats with the bat file in the source?

The batch file is a shortcut for compiling the AS3 files with a command line running Flex. It was created from a file that senocular made since I really don’t know much about command line. The tutorial I linked to in my first post explains it pretty well

@Krilnon

It looks really great, TheCanadian! I’m glad you did an AS3 version, too, I find that converting things to AS3 is the quickest way to learn (I haven’t read senocular’s tutorial yet, so maybe there is a quicker way :P)

Thanks, I find AS3 to be a much better language so I went from the original-more-crappy version straight to AS3 then back to AS2 since most people are still using that. Senocular’s tutorial is about using Flex to compile AS3 files with command line so you don’t need to learn Flex and MXML to write AS3 :thumb:

This is fun. I especially like the beefed up version. Cheers.

So good you should make a tutorial on it… lol. Everyone should make a tutorial on the experiment they make.
