This command will let you export a selection of path objects to ActionScript using the new ActionScript drawing APIs introduced in Flash Player 10 (Graphics.drawGraphcisData with Vectors, etc.).

I enjoy to use in my flash projects the caurina tweener class, because it’s simple, elegant and flexible. You can use multiple properties in one transition without having problems, create complex animations with a few lines of code. If you’ll use the caurina tween you’ll have a better performance on the transitions relative to the [...]
I’ve been using Tweener for almost an year now, and I thought I’d share a few quick and useful tips. Delayed Function call, or a Poor man’s timer AS3 has the Timer class which is handy, but sometimes you just need a quick “call this function in x seconds”. No need to instantiate an object, [...]
