Creating Custom Components: Part Deux

Posted by in Components, Flash on Jul 12th, 2005 | 2 comments

Great v2 component resources keep coming to my attention following my initial Creating Custom Components blog entry of two weeks ago. Greg Hammer, Manager of the Las Vegas Macromedia Users Group, turned me on to an excellent tutorial on creating custom v2 architecture components which is made available courtesy of laflash.org (User Groups Rock!!). As Greg pointed out, this is a fairly unknown resource–I had never seen or heard of it and I’ve looked under a lot of v2 rocks over the last year and a half–which was posted about 6 months ago. The presentation by Jacob Bullock runs nearly an hour, so be prepared to to clear your schedule for some component clarity (presentation focuses on entry / intro to v2 component architecture and incidentally covers many basic fundamentals of AS2.0 development) .

    I’ve spent countless “tours of duty” in the V2 framework, so feel free to bug the living crap out of me if you need a hand as I maybe able to save you countless hours of line by line code hunting.

    I’ve bitched in that past about how “complex” it is and hard to grasp, but I must say, its got a lot of hidden gems inside.

    Hopefully the new framework’s upcoming release will be easier on the eye/code hunting.

    Good to know Scott, the next time I’m cutting my forehead to ribbons working on v2 madness I’ll be sure to make you pay for your goodwill–thanks.
