The next meeting for A-SFUG is coming up on Saturday June 27th, 11am at the Ogilvy Centre.

Truly excited about Ari’s (http://pericraft.com) idea, we are going to have a special meeting this month. The focus of the meeting is “How Stuff Works”.

Basically it’s about bringing up your questions and discuss them together. Things like, how to do Augmented Reality (we’ve already covered that), how to do Yugop’s running text or, most frequently, how did they do this (or that you discovered during random browsing)?

If you see something interesting but can’t figure out how it works, share with us and hopefully, we can nail the solution.

Please post your questions on the Facebook event page and we’ll cover them during the meeting. If you are shy, you can also ask during the actual meeting.

Venue: 35 Robinson Road, #03-01 the Ogilvy Centre
Date: Saturday June 27th
Time: 11am

Please come along and share your thoughts, ideas, and questions.

Please RSVP via Facebook

Hope to see you all there,
Ed

The slides for my talk on HTML and CSS in Flash have now been uploaded to my website http://nichmekof.com/a-sfug/cssinflash/

I updated the slides slightly because I missed out talking about the ability to use CSS classes.

I have also done up an example file which you can download on how to use html and css in flash

I think the most important information is the links.

• Music and Computer Book: http://digitalmusics.dartmouth.edu/~book/
• Andre Michelle: http://blog.andre-michelle.com/
• AS3 Sound Visualizer Contest: http://theflashblog.com/?p=197
• Flight404 on Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/flight404

I’ve also uploaded the flash source files I demonstrated during the presentation. Put a mp3 file inside the folder and name it as “jingle.mp3″  to make it work properly. (I can’t upload mine because of copy right issues).
