just noticed all the flash examples on this site have stopped working as they were all hosted on the randommedia domain. nothing I can do about it now (I’m currently sitting in Guys talk at WebDU) but I’ll fix it all up when I get back to England and my good old desktop computer

Bought a shiney new webcam last weekend to play with Flash 8’s webcam input and the new Bitmap functions a bit more, here’s the results so far.

One thing, my camera does 320*240 but most cheapo webcams are only 160*120, so not sure how this will look on a lower res camera (as I’m doing an image scale up by 2), be interested to find out.

And of course they all look a lot better moving, so if you have a webcam click the image to launch the app…

Friday Night Cam, for that ‘after the pub feeling’…

Cube Cam (looks really nice moving)

Spikey Cam

…and I can’t believe no-one else has done this yet…

Ascii Cam

Very nice new site from Grant Skinner to house all his Flash experiements. The timeline is nicely done, and some of the latest F8 stuff (particularly the webcam interaction stuff) is really cool…

Nice little demo here of using the new ExternalInterface class to create HTML tooltips from Flash, note the tooltips are outside the actual flash file…

ExternalInterface, CSS, & Tooltips, Oh My!

Someone’s come up with a camera that you can refocus AFTER you’ve taken the image! Clever stuff!
