Flashloaded new 3D Environment component

Flashloaded.com has just released a fantastic new component - 3DEnvironment.

There have been several sites which are based on the examples shown on the components home-page. One of them is Jared Tarbell's complexification.net!
After reading much about faking 3d in Flash, especially after "Making Things Move", 3d in Flash is no surprise.

To me,
Usability seems like the best feature because it uses the custom parameter's panel where user's can see their 3d objects even before rendering them.

The ease and consistency of a component to create these environments makes it a good buy (US$ 49.95). For designers who are not usually Actionscript savvy and hate the sight of "sin & cos" its a must have tool in their Flash kitty.

P.S. There are other fantastic components on this site including 3 others in the 3d section.

Nearly finished reading "Making things Move"

Recently have been reading "
Foundation ActionScript Animation: Making Things Move!
and let me tell you it is deserved the best-selling Actionscript book. The simplicity by which Keith Peter's teaches the application of what i used to consider advanced flash is just extraordinary. I surely have turned a lot richer in my knowledge about Flash Math Animation. Hats off to you Keith, absolutely brilliant!

Btw, I have few others lined up to read as well

1. Flash Math Creativity
2. Fresh Flash
3. Robert Penner's Programming Flash MX

All of these books are just very, very, very dear to me!

ElectoServer "logout and login" problems

If you are trying to logout and login again use -
es.logout(false)
Yes, passing false is required as if you do not do so then you will also be disconnected from the server and will not be able to login again until you re-establish a connection.

Another problem is not being able to login due to inactivity. The timeout settings can be configured from the "configuration.xml" file.

Incase you face problems use
es.setDebug(true);
and test to see the xml messages being passed in by ElectroServer. There is very little information about ElectroServer on the Internet and dealing with specific problems may be daunting. Ofcourse that doesn't limit the capabilities of the server. Its really cool!

From now on...

From now on...

I will encourage my inclinations and discourage disbelief.
I will put in everything into everything.
I will discipline myself to do what must be.
I will participate and not dictate.
I will recognize my shortcomings and not hide or defend them.
