Fresh Flash

To quote from the publisher's (friends of ED) description of Fresh Flash:

"Some of the best designers in the Web community have concentrated their efforts on this project. This has resulted in the highest caliber of work, including an exclusive insight into the creation of Jim Armstrong's New York Flash Film Festival Final piece."

The book includes a chapter by Ty Lettau called Reacting to Sound which uses amplitude values generated with FlashAmp. There are quite a few Flash examples in the chapter and, thanks to Ty Lettau and friends of ED, we're pleased to be able to offer a couple of these online as examples of what can be done with FlashAmp. Not only that but Ty and friends of ED have also been kind enough to allow us to provide a complete PDF of the chapter and all Flash source code (see the Download links below).

The first example (C_01.fla) is a dancing stick figure. It makes clever use of amplitude values to trigger the joints of the figure to make it dance in time with the music. Click the image below to view this example.

The second example shows a simple moving waveform made by duplicating movieClips. The code used is simple and easy to follow and it's a good example of how easy it is to use FlashAmp data to produce great results. Click the image below to view this example.

Use the links below to download a PDF of Ty Lettau's Reacting to Sound chapter from Fresh Flash as well as complete Flash source code for all the examples used in the Chapter. Thanks again to Ty Lettau and friends of ED for making this resource available.

Please note that Ty used FlashAmp 1 to generate the amplitude values used in the examples. The FlashAmp 1 output file format was intended for use with the Flash loadVariables() function and Ty explains how to convert the output files into a form that can be used with a Flash #include statement instead. FlashAmp 2 can output files for use with the #include statement so the file conversion steps described in the chapter are not required if you're using FlashAmp 2.

Have a look at some of the other stuff that Ty Lettau has produced with FlashAmp and you should definitely check out his Sound of Design site as well.

There is a lot of other really fascinating Flash work in the Fresh Flash book and it's still very relevant now even though it was written for Flash MX. We highly recommend it. See the friends of Ed site for more information.
