I’ve written a tutorial which is published over at flash.tutsplus. This tutorial demonstrates how to create a horizontally scrolling image viewer and covers xml parsing, loading and resizing external images, and creating intuitive and responsive scrolling!

So check out the Tutorial to Create a Responsive Image Scroller in ActionScript 3.0 over at flash.tutsplus.com!

You’ll find full source code available for download as well as the demo files and step by step milestones all throughout the tutorial.

Thanks for your patience as I’ve been tinkering with the theme, layout and css of circlecube.com.

old theme

The last theme I used was badly broken with the wordpress 2.8 update and then I noticed the developer actually discontinued support for the theme! So I had an opportunity to delve into wordpress theming. I’d been reading about child themes and wanted a nice stable basic parent theme to build from. Cue thematic framework. It was a great learning experience building a child theme for myself, many thanks to Ian Stewart for all the tips help and tuts to help me though it, not to mention for creating thematic .

new theme

I’ve kept the color scheme and general look of the site the same. So the reason I’m going on about it is I think I’m finished… and I’m asking you to let me know if you see anything that looks odd or fishy, or even just want to make a suggestion or comment on how much you like/hate the redesign. Comment on this post or contact me!

And as always, if there’s something you would like me to write about or have questions you can also contact me. I’ve even set up a poll in the sidebar showing post ideas I have which you can vote on and encourage me to write the one(s) you want most first! So let me know what you want, it encourages me to write more. And be sure to subscribe to the circlecube rss feed so you won’t miss anything that’s coming up!

Interactive Design project for StomperNet’s tease of the announced reveal on 09/09/09 at 09:09:09!

“Online Marketing Changes Forever!”

Wanted it to be unexpected, and I think we hit it! Check it out live at stomper999.com!

Details:
For this project I used flash, html, css and javascript. Tweener for the fading effects. Found a nice stock flash from flashDen for the countdown and used jquery and the easing and color plugins.

StomperNet relaunched the popular FormaulFIVE and I was responsible for the design of the landing pages. Here are screenshots from the launch, FormulaFIVE was teased with a couple video trailers and even packaged with some bonus videos called the Cash Booster series.

Go to stomperf5.com to view the page.

Portal website design for StomperNet. Created to give digital access of subscription content: including video, pdf versions of print material (journal). I was responsible for the design of the front end of the site with valid html and css. I also designed the site logo and the graphics on the site. Was able to include some small customized flash elements. Visit public my.stompernet.com site and purchase instant access to StomperNet content inside the my.stompernet.com portal.

If you didn’t know, Grant Skinner has introduced an interesting competition called tweetcoding!

Mixing as3 with the 140 character limit of tweeting he calls for the community to tweet visually interesting source code.

I’ve played a bit with it and tweeted my first #tweetcoding entry! See more tweetcoding here

Want to see my entry? Here it is!

StomperNet has been a ‘buzz’.

After Andy’s ‘Mea Culpa‘ why wouldn’t it be…

But this is so much better and bigger, learning many lessons from the last launch – StomperNet strikes again!

Teamed up with Paul Lemberg a new product called FormulaFIVE (F5 for short).

Just launched a video to excite the industry!

Thanks for your patience as I’ve been tinkering with the theme, layout and css of circlecube.com.

I started with a free theme from Justin Tadlock, Options Theme, available at theme hybrid. I’ve changed that theme quite a bit, from restyling it to fixing bugs I found and updated many other things on the site as well.
