Note: this can be done quicker with pure ActionScript by using paletteMap(). This example is merely an Alchemy example.
Watch the example here.
Here’s an example of how this can be used on a 3D object.
Here’s the C code:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#include “AS3.h”

int* palette;
int* plasma;
int* newPlasma;
int width;
int height;

AS3_Val generatePlasma(void* self, AS3_Val args)
{
int x, y, r, g, b, [...]

I’m currently trying to get started with Adobe Alchemy. I’ve downloaded the SDK and Cygwin. I’ve followed all the steps from the getting started documentation: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Alchemy:Documentation:Getting_Started. When trying to execute this command:
alc-on; which gcc
I get this error
bash: alc-on: command not found
The problem here is that the .bashrc file is not executed when the Cygwin bash [...]

Yesterday I visited Adobe Live! in Amsterdam. This year promised to be more interesting than last year because of the CS3 release and because there’d be more to see for developers. As it turned out I was both positively surprised and a bit dissapointed.
First of all the location. Last year Adobe Live! was held in [...]

I was working on a very frustrating issue that occurs in IE when the caching settings are set to “every visit to the page”. On slower servers, the background images were reloaded on a mouseover. While reloading the images dissappeared. One simple line of JavaScript will solve this issue:
document.execCommand(”BackgroundImageCache”, false, true);

I just found this very useful posting on how to sort RSS feeds by date using XSLT. Read it here

I just found this excellent PDF about JavaScript 2.0. Some nice stuff in there. Too bad that Internet Explorer 7 uses none of these new features!

With the emergence of the AJAX-hype, and the code chaos that comes with it, there has been an increased interest in the structuring of JavaScript code. Very good concepts have been devised that take JavaScript a level further. To begin structuring your JavaScript code, the use of packages/namespaces is valuable start. JavaScript 1.3 doesn’t support [...]

I’ve been using Eclipse for some time now. Thanks to plugins like Amateras I’ve been able to extend it to satisfy my needs as a front-end webdeveloper. Unfortunately there were quite some bugs and the code assist was far from perfect. It looks like a special Eclipse distribution called Aptana is here to solve all [...]

Tredosoft has released a special version of IE7 Release Candidate 1 which can be installed next to Internet Explorer 6. A perfect solution for webdevelopers! There are some caveats though. Read the “What does NOT work” section for more info.
I’ve been testing my sites in IE7 for some time now and it looks like a [...]

I found a quick way to see how pages are rendered by the KHTML engine. The good thing about it is that you don’t have to install a new Operating System or even need to reboot!
The only thing you have to do is to download the free VMWare Player and a SUSE 10 image file.
Find [...]
