FriendsofED Foundation Actionscript 3.0 Animation # Paperback: 568 pages # Publisher: friends of ED (April 2, 2007) # Language: English # ISBN-10: 1590597915 # ISBN-13: 978-1590597910 In this book, you'll learn * All the ActionScript 3.0 (including math and trigonometry functions) and Flash rendering techniques you'll need to start animating with code * Basic motion principles such as velocity, acceleration, friction, easing, and bouncing * How to handle user interaction via the keyboard and mouse * Advanced motion techniques such as springs, coordinate rotation, conservation of momentum, and forward and inverse kinematics * All the basic 3D concepts you need to do 3D in Flash, from simple perspective to full 3D solids complete with backface culling and dynamic lighting Flash has long been one of the most approachable, user-friendly tools for creating web-based animations, games, and applications. This has contributed to making it one of the most widely used programs for creating interactive web content. With each new version of Flash, ActionScript, its built-in scripting language, has become more powerful and a little more complex, too. ActionScript, now at version 3.0, has significantly matured as a programming language, bringing power and speed only previously dreamed about to Flash-based animation, going far beyond traditionally used keyframes and tweens. The material inside this book covers everything you need to know to harness the power of ActionScript 3.0. First, all the basics of script-based animation and setting up an ActionScript 3.0 project are covered. An introduction to object-oriented programming follows, with the new syntax, events, and rendering techniques of ActionScript 3.0 explained, giving you the confidence to use the language, whether starting from scratch or moving up from ActionScript 2.0. The book goes on to provide information on all the relevant trigonometry you will need, before moving on to physics concepts such as acceleration, velocity, easing, springs, collision detection, conservation of momentum, 3D, and forward and inverse kinematics. In no time at all you'll both understand the concepts of scripted animation and have the ability to create all manner of exciting animations and games.

Stepok Recomposit v1.8 Quick mask and recompose a photo with transparency keeped. A photo masking and compositing tool which precisely isolates image object from its background with hair, edge, transparency precisely keeped. Recomposit is a photo masking and compositing tool which precisely isolates image object from its background and merges it with others. The advanced masking methods: Bluescreen also called chroma key technology and inside/Outside edge will keep any details, hair, edge, shadow and transparency after they are recomposed. Recomposit also provides full environment to further compositing work without any support from other softwares. In extended edition, Recomposit supports Photoshop as its plug-ins. About matting technology: The bluescreen matting tech. is invented for requirements of real-time matting, which is used in making movie and TV broadcast. The chroma key means separating the foreground subject with background by their difference in hue(chroma) channel. The photographer takes the photo with a specified background in constant color, normally, blue or green. The computer can know where is background and where is foreground, then separates them in real time, automatically. The inside/outside matting can be applied on most photos. The inside edge of object means a selection which is inside the object and close to its real edge. And the outside edge means a selection which cover all pixels of the object and close to its edge. The area between inside and outside is the edge of the object and the semitransparent part. The program will calculate the real mask by user specified inside/outside edge. As we know, so far Recomposit has been the only one in world which combine two advanced matting methods together. Top Features * Bluescreen matting (chroma key), batch chromakey * Inside/Outside matting * Support complex edge and semitransparent * Support inverse calculation of foreground color * Composition environment based on layer structure. * Repair or erase object by inpainting selection. * Simulate lens blur in background. * Execute Turbo Photo as external enhancement tool. * Run as photoshop plugin, (support Adobe PS 3.0 and above, Image Ready ) What's New in Last upgrade * Improve bluescreen matting algorithm settings pad, include: - Visual chroma range controlling. - Clean mask after matting by 'Clean page' - More settings include enable/disable 'Inverse Color Calculation' * Fix crash bug of foreground paint tool when it works under batch mode. * Fix crash bug of 'merge down' command when transform tool is working on float layer. * Fix crash bug of 'magic selection' tool when click on float layer exceed canvas size. Minimal Requirements Windows 2000/XP and above 128M RAM 32M free diak space True color display adapter. 800x600 resolution

| DynSite v1.11.805.4 |
Software |
|
|
| |
DynSite v1.11.805.4 Multilingual DynSite automatically updates your dynamic IP address every time it changes on one or many dynamic DNS services or by email. This allows anyone to connect to the servers (Web, FTP, NNTP, etc.) running on your own computer using a fully qualified domain name (e.g. myhost.dyndns.org, where myhost is a name of your choice). Since your host name never changes it makes accessing your servers much easier than using your IP address which changes each time you reconnect. This is also useful when you want to remotely control your PC. Main features * Updates IP address on dynamic DNS services, DNS, FTP or LDAP servers, or by e-mail (SMTP) * Secure Dynamic Updates to DNS servers (compatible with RFC2136, RFC2845 [HMAC-TSIG] and RFC3645 [GSS-TSIG]) * Dynamic DNS services supported through the use of plug-in (text) files * compatible with the most used dynamic DNS protocols (DynDNS.org, easyDNS.com, ZoneEdit.com, eNom.com, GnuDIP2) * Simple Account Assistant to configure your host and domain names * Manages multiple connections and binding of hosts to a specific connection * LAN, Dial-up (RAS), RRAS and proprietary (AOL, MSN) connections monitoring * Windows XP Visual Styles and menu à la Office XP (if Visual Styles are active) * Supports UPnP, SNMP and HTTP compatible routers for external IP address detection * Customizable text or HTML templates for FTP and e-mail updates * Logs every event (updates, connections, disconnections) to a text file * Error notifications by e-mail * Can run applications or batch files upon connection and disconnection * Automatic program and plug-in updates * Multilingual: Dutch, English (default), French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, (Brazilian) Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Swedish and Traditional Chinese. Important notes: Following some harsh messages my hosting service or I received from some individuals, I need to clarify some points about DynSite. In some circumstances, your firewall may warn you that DynSite opens a connection to some websites (e.g. romanweb.com which is my hosting service). DynSite only uses those websites for update availability checks (noeld.com only) and IP address and Internet connection detections, no data are transferred from your computer to the websites. You can find more information about this in the FAQ. In no way, DynSite is a spyware or a trojan. Thanks for your understanding and your confidence. [Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/2003/2008/ Vista]
