In a continuation from a previous show, Chet imports his Flex-less animation library into Flash Pro and creates a Flash application with it.

Former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase discusses how to build a reusable animation library in Flash Pro that can be used in Flash and Flex applications.

In this video, Chet shows how to use the Animation class, which is the timing engine used internally by Flex 4 effects.

Former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase explains how to create more complex animations by using keyframes to define multiple intervals in each motion path.

Former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase shows a better way to animate adding and removing items from a VBox container in Flex 3 by using a technique from Flex transitions.

Former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase answers a question posted on his blog about how to animate adding and removing items from a VBox container in Flex 3.

Former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase shows how to use the new “autoReverse” property of Transition to get a better user experience for Flex 4 transition effects.

Former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase explores using a graphical object as a button and various ways of animating its look as you click on it to get a smooth 3D-like interaction.

The tutorial about component state feedback continues as former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase details how to add animations to a button’s skin to provide animate changes between skin states.

A component can change its look between different states, like when the mouse is over it. In this video, former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase shows how Flex buttons do this to provide important visual cues to the user.

Former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase explains how to animate scrolling for a TextArea component using some simple ActionScript code to create and play animations.

Former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase walks you through an application that animates a scrolling behavior. Animations happen automatically when you click on a scrollbar’s track or up/down buttons, but this case requires custom code.

Former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase demonstrates techniques of measuring the performance of animations, and shows how the performance of effects, render events, and the SWF frame rate relate to each other.

Flex makes it easy to create animated transitions, helping the user understand what is happening in the UI. Former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase shows how transitions and easing behavior improve the user experience.

In this video, former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase takes a look at some of the techniques used in gaming consoles to achieve highly interactive and fun user experiences.

Chet Haase, formerly of the Adobe Flex SDK Team, demonstrates the new animated behaviors in the Flex 4 scrollbar and slider components.

Former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase shows how to use the new custom type interpolation abilities in Flex 4 effects for better animated resizing effects on the window of an Adobe AIR application.

In this video, former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase explores interpolation arbitrary types in Flex 4 effects, and explains how to use the new IInterpolator interface to create custom interpolators.

Chet Haase, formerly of the Adobe Flex SDK team, shows how to create and use custom easing functions with Flex 4 effects which allows for new and interesting timing behavior for animations.

Former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase explains how the new transform effects work in Flex 4 and how Move, Scale, and Rotate combine their operations internally to result in the correct behavior.

Former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase explores the new Pixel Bender-based effects in Flex 4, such as CrossFade and Wipe. Learn how to use these effects to create cool transitions in your Flex 4 applications.

Former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase demonstrates Flash Player 10 and its ability to position and transform objects in 3D – then showcases this capability using new effects in Flex 4.

Former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase continues his exploration of the new Pixel Bender-based effects in Flex 4, this time focusing on Shaders.

Former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase demos the new AnimateFilter effect, which allows you to animate the properties of Flex filters over time to create rich animations for your Flex application.

This effect exists in Flex 3, but the Flex 4 beta version includes more logic to automatically handle different situations of fading.

Follow along with former Flex SDK team member Chet Haase and explore the new AnimateColor effect, which allows you to easily add color values in gradients to achieve interesting visual effects.

In this video, former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase explores the new Animate effect in Flex 4. This effect can handle animating multiple properties of arbitrary type and is the superclass of all the new effects in Flex 4.

Former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase introduces the color animation effect in the next version of Flex. He then compares RGB interpolation and HSB interpolation to find out which provides better color interpolation behavior.

Former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase adds lifelike motion to GUI objects, using traditional animation techniques of anticipation, follow-through, and motion blur.

In this episode, former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase highlights the ease of creating realistic animations and sequential motion effects in the next version of Flex.

In this episode, former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase explains how to add a bouncing effect to a ball. See how easing functions give a realistic look to an animated object’s movement.

Different visual effects require different motion. Former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase shows how to incorporate realistic movement into your animations by using various easing functions in Flex 3.

In this video, former Adobe Flex SDK team member Chet Haase demonstrates and compares how a simple animation effect is constructed both in Flex 3 and in the next version of Flex, codenamed Gumbo.
