The Adobe Flash Platform User Group July 2008 Meeting Ryan Taylor presents Intro To Flash Player 10 and Pixel Bender About This Meeting: Flash Player 10 is upon us and with it comes an exciting array of powerful new features. The presentation will kick off with a walkthrough of how you can get started developing for Flash Player 10 using a recent build of the Flex SDK. From there, explorations of some of the core new features will take place, including the new Vector type, drawing API, and foundational 3D support. The night will end with an introduction to Pixel Bender, Adobe’s powerful new pixel shader language. Demonstrations of Pixel Bender kernels as Shaders for fills, filters, blend modes, and generic number crunchers in Flash will take place. Who Should Attend: This presentation is geared towards (but not limited to) developers who are already familiar with ActionScript 3.0 and are looking to get started with the next version of Flash Player. An intermediate understanding of trigonometry and basic calculus will also be helpful during the discussions on 3D and Pixel Bender. In general, anyone interested in Flash Player 10 that would like a first look and some inspiration will enjoy this presentation.About Our Presenter: Ryan Taylor is a passionate artist and programmer specializing in object-oriented architecture, mathematics for computer graphics, and both static and motion design.
