Other cool new feature in Flash 10 is the ability to use custom Pixel Bender filters to make transformations to an image (actually working like pixel shaders). Keita has a nice post showing how it’s done, also with downloadable source.

One of the cool new features of Flash 10 is the ability to synthesize sound without having to resort to byte injection hacks anymore. In that regard, Joa Ebert has a nice experiment showing this feature working, and downloadable sources to boot.

Adobe has just started the public beta release of Flash Player 10. This new version will be groundbreaking in a number of different ways.

As expressed by Mario Klingemann (who was also linked here a couple of months ago): this is the year of the node for Flash, and a new node-based environment for Flash, called Source Binder, is the one who helped the threshold be crossed.

Amazing: Processing, but running in JavaScript. John Resig has built a parser that works just like Processing, but instead of creating and compiling Java code, it creates JavaScript code that uses the Canvas feature of modern browsers to render the graphics.

Adobe has shown a few more Flash Player 10 features at FITC Toronto yesterday.

André Michelle, Joa Ebert and Kai-Philipp Schöllmann, interested in better sound control inside the Flash platform, created a website entitled Adobe, MAKE SOME NOISE, a campaign that aims to address “the lack of dynamic sound manipulation in Flash.”

Mario Klingemann, one of my biggest inspirations in Flash development, has a post with a video showing a new online application he’s working on, called Peacock.
