I have just uploaded a new tutorial called Full Browser Flash which shows you how to use the BitmapData class to fill the browser window with a seamless background pattern. Then I show you how to setup a full browser movie so that your assets don’t scale and remain centered on the stage. Check it out at http://www.gotoandlearn.com.

Flash Professional 8 Video Integration is now live over at the Lynda.com online learning library. The CD-ROM version will be available in a couple of weeks. This title is an in-depth look into using video in your Flash projects. I pretty much covered everything in these tutorials so if you want to learn Flash video, this is definitely the place to go. Those who aren’t members of Lynda.com can still view some of the movies for free.

Check it out at over at Lynda.com.

Let me know what you think of it

Here is another skin that I made for the new FLVPlayback component that comes with Flash 8. This has a stainless steel look to it. Click on the image below to download the skin.

While my site is down, I’ve been putting up silly placeholders until I get the time to make a new one. This latest one takes the cake though. Check out http://www.leebrimelow.com and get ready to feel that rush of emotions that only Lionel can provide

Here’s a sneak peak at the newest tutorial I’m working on for gotoAndLearn(). It shows how to turn normal video files into 100% vector shapes for use in Flash 8. This is accomplished using nothing more than Adobe Illustrator CS2. You can also do this type of video with Flix Pro, but by using Illustrator, you can actually do a much better job. This technique can produce a whole range of special effects and can create extremely small filesizes if optimized correctly. See the example below which is just a video file of me talking. The y of the mouse controls the scale so you can see that it’s all vector!
