Flash - Augmented
Introduction

Flash was recently in the news when Apple CEO Steve Job reneged on his hitherto restrictions on Flash authored applications in his forbidden garden of Eden I-Devices(phones,pads, etc. etc). That restriction came in to being when the maker of Flash - Adobe was just about to release its latest set of design and development tools that incorporate API's to design apps for Apple's I-devices about 10 months ago. Steve and his corporation have finally come to their senses albeit with a small stick of litigation for draconian monopoly tactics.
What you see below has been created entirely with Flash scripting language (actionscript-AS3) employing an object-oriented programming paradigm (utilising the new revamped rendering engine). The animation simulates the Big Bang and then it subsequent collapse into a Black Hole. Click inside and then release to see this effect. We are not sure what Prof. Stephen Hawkins would make of it though.
Another eye catching animation created using the new revamped scripting language (actionscript3-AS3). It demonstrates some of the new APIs added to the rendering engine. Click and move your mouse inside the animation to see various effect
The Adobe Flash Platform is the leading web design and development platform for creating expressive applications, content, and video that run consistently across operating systems and devices and reach over 98% of Internet-connected desktop users. The Flash Platform consists of an integrated set of technologies—including client runtimes, tools, frameworks, servers, and services—that provide everything you need to deliver applications, content, and high-definition video to the widest possible audience. If you have come across a content on the web which makes you shout "wow how did they do that !!", chances are it was created in Flash.
The new Flash Development Platform (FlashBuilder,Flash Catalyst,Flex, Air, etc. etc) is rich and intuitive - we love it here. Want something in a Flash (pun intended)- a banner advert , slogan, may be a complete app that runs on connected devices (smartphone,tablet,desktop,Tv)?
