PittMFUG August 2010 Meeting

Friday, August 20th, 2010

pittmfug-developing-responsive-menus

Thanks to everyone who came out to the PittMFUG meeting last night.

Just in case you missed it here’s what went down.

Developing Responsive Menus (slides) Josh Sager
Making transitions for menus and screens can be a tedious process. Especially when managing multiple animations via user input. Sometimes users are too quick and the effect “breaks” or ends abruptly. In this session we’ll solve those problems through programmatic animation. I’ll break down techniques for creating ultra responsive menus, smooth transitions, and interactions that will make you smile.

Working with Arduino & Flash Val Head
Physical Computing is fun; Flash is fun. Why not have fun with them together? We’ll talk about what you need to get set up and have Flash and an Arduino board talking to each other like friends.

Working Smarter, Not Harder – Josh Sager
Get a bigger bang for your buck. Learn Flash IDE and ActionScript tips to save time on your next project. Less copy and paste, fewer projects with 10,000 frames and more centralized content speeding up client changes and routine maintenance. This is a beginner to intermediate developer topic.

Betwixt Or Between? – Val Head
When it comes to timeline tweens, we have so many options. This presentation will focus on the two options we have for tweening motion on the timline: Motion Tween and Classic Tween. We’ll look at how to use the new Motion Tween introduced with CS4 and how it compares to the Classic Tween we’ve all grown to love. This is a beginner design topic.
