Au registre des bonnes résolutions 2009, c’est peut-être pour vous l’occasion de cultiver l’art de la conversation pour vos prochains déjeuners d’affaires et soirées mondaines en feignant d’avoir participé à l’événement. D’un ton jovial: « J’ai adoré quand Scobble a répondu à Michael Arrington… Renversant ! »

Ce sont donc maintenant 290 heures de visionnage qui vous attendent. Elles ont été classées en 3 catégories: Design, Develop et Envision.

De quoi tenir un siège studieux pendant vos longues soirées d’hiver…

Revolutionary design patterns in ActionScript
Get a glimpse into the technical and inspirational power of game development with Flash 9 and ActionScript 3.0. See how to use OOP techniques to build a modular architecture that can harness the power of the last virtual machine. You will also learn about one open source framework developed in AS3, take a look at workflow in the development and design process and discuss benchmarks, unit tests and debugging.

Takeaway
All developers, who want to learn a professional approach to using ActionScript 3.0

Intended audience
A series of how-to techniques and tips on better design and development to build efficient solutions.

Who This Presentation Is For:
All developers and particularly those into making games, who want to learn a professional approach to using ActionScript 3.0 for the production of games, as well as anyone involved in the process of creating Flash games who want an overview of what’s involved in next-generation games.

What Attendees Will Walk Away With:
A series of how-to techniques and tips on better design and development to build efficient solutions with the next generation of the Flash platform.

As promised, you can download my session notes here.

Sorry for the delay !

Thanks to Vero for the translation, I felt really laid-back this time.
Thanks again to Mathieu, Valérie, Laurent and Stephane for their support!

Some tasty urls:

• Official site

• Mailing list

• SVN repository

• Temporary documentation

Available features:

• New events model built from scratch with strong typing.

• Polymorphic logging API with FlashInspector and Sos.

• New tween engine.

• External file data loading (swf, flv, xml …) with polymorphism, event system and debugging features.

• Command polymorphism in the whole library (Tween classes, File loaders, Event proxy …)

• Macro-commands

• Collections (IndexedArray, IndexedList, HashMap and Stack)

• Iterator package. To iterate collections and data structures.

• Sound package

• Video package

• Structures package (2D Grid, Point or Range…)

Some advanced features:

• HashCodeFactory

Behind the scenes gives an hash code to each flash player’s object.It speeds up HashMap processes.

• AbstractFactory

Extend it, add your class type and it will become a real factory using polmorphism.

• GraphicLibLocator

Locator to get a reference of external swf loaded with their name identifier. It favours low coupling beetween uis download process and model code associated.

• ViewHelper is an abstract class.

Extend it and inject your UIs code.Get any ViewHelper with static getViewHelper accessor.

• FrontController.

ViewHelper with GraphicLibLocator, with Command pattern, pixlib events package and FrontController make a really powerful combo.

• MVC package

More to come :

• CommandSequencer time-based and event-based.

• Finish some refactoring and tests on FLVPlayer, FLVLoop, FLVLoopEvent and FLVLoopManager classes.

• Polish the Event bubbling API part. This feature is a bit experimental at this time. The API is not definitive.

• Extend AbstractLib with more file formats.

To conclude, I’d like to thanks Laurent for photos and javadoc parsing.
