| Animating Gradients for 3D Look and Feel Animating Gradients for 3D Look and FeelChet 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. | 00:06:15 | |||
| Animating Button State Changes Animating Button State ChangesThe tutorial about component state feedback continues as Chet details how to add animations to a button’s skin to provide animate changes between skin states. | 00:06:45 | |||
| Visual Component State Feedback Visual Component State FeedbackA component can change its look between different states, like when the mouse is over it. In this video, Chet shows how Flex buttons do this to provide important visual cues to the user. | 00:06:32 | |||
| Animating a TextArea Animating a TextAreaChet explains how to animate scrolling for a TextArea component using some simple ActionScript code to create and play animations. | 00:05:36 | |||
| Programmatic Scrolling Animation Programmatic Scrolling AnimationChet 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. | 00:03:06 | |||

| Transitions and Easing in Flex Transitions and Easing in FlexFlex makes it easy to create animated transitions, helping the user understand what is happening in the UI. Chet Haase shows how transitions and easing behavior improve the user experience. | 00:07:33 | |||
| Interactive GUI Components Interactive GUI ComponentsIn this video, Chet Haase takes a look at some of the techniques used in gaming consoles to achieve highly interactive and fun user experiences. | 00:07:42 | |||
| Animated Scrollbar and Slider in Flex 4 Animated Scrollbar and Slider in Flex 4Chet Haase of the Adobe Flex SDK Team demonstrates the new animated behaviors in the Flex 4 scrollbar and slider components. | 00:05:40 | |||
| Resize Adobe AIR Windows through Custom Flex 4 Effect... Resize Adobe AIR Windows through Custom Flex 4 Effects InterpolationChet 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. | 00:06:59 | |||
| Custom Type Interpolation in Flex 4 Effects Custom Type Interpolation in Flex 4 EffectsIn this video, Chet explores interpolation arbitrary types in Flex 4 effects, and explains how to use the new IInterpolator interface to create custom interpolators. | 00:09:24 | |||
| Flex 3 Easing with Flex 4 Effects Flex 3 Easing with Flex 4 EffectsChet explains how a simple utility class can wrap Flex 3 easing functions for use in Flex 4, which is helpful if your favorite Flex 3 easing classes are not available directly for Flex 4 effects. | 00:07:43 | |||
| Custom Easing in Flex 4 Custom Easing in Flex 4Chet Haase of the 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. | 00:09:34 | |||
| 3D in Flash Player 10 and Flex 4 3D in Flash Player 10 and Flex 4Chet 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. | 00:05:41 | |||
| Shader Transitions in Flex 4 Shader Transitions in Flex 4Chet 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. | 00:06:35 | |||
| Pixel Bender Shaders and Flex 4 Pixel Bender Shaders and Flex 4Chet Haase continues his exploration of the new Pixel Bender-based effects in Flex 4, this time focusing on Shaders. | 00:07:39 | |||
| AnimateFilter Effect in Flex 4 AnimateFilter Effect in Flex 4Chet 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. | 00:04:43 | |||
| Transform Effects in Flex 4 Transform Effects in Flex 4Chet 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. | 00:05:47 | |||
| Fade Effect in Flex 4 Fade Effect in Flex 4This effect exists in Flex 3, but the Flex 4 beta version includes more logic to automatically handle different situations of fading. | 00:05:42 | |||
| Animate Color in Flex 4 Animate Color in Flex 4Follow along with Chet and explore the new AnimateColor effect, which allows you to easily add color values in gradients to achieve interesting visual effects. | 00:05:34 | |||
| Animate Effect in Flex 4 Animate Effect in Flex 4In this video, 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. | 00:06:45 | |||
| Color My World Color My WorldChet 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. | 00:10:01 | |||
| Faster than a Speeding Button Faster than a Speeding ButtonChet Haase adds lifelike motion to GUI objects, using traditional animation techniques of anticipation, follow-through, and motion blur. | 00:10:18 | |||
| Stretch and Squash in Flex 4 Stretch and Squash in Flex 4In this episode, Chet Haase highlights the ease of creating realistic animations and sequential motion effects in the next version of Flex. | 00:09:42 | |||
| Stretch and Squash in Flex 3 Stretch and Squash in Flex 3Traditional animators tried to give their creations life using special techniques. Chet Haase shows how 'stretch' and 'squash' techniques can make the look of an object in motion more realistic. | 00:08:56 | |||
| Bouncing Ball Behavior Bouncing Ball BehaviorIn this episode, 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. | 00:06:10 | |||
| Easing Does It Easing Does ItDifferent visual effects require different motion. Chet Haase shows how to incorporate realistic movement into your animations by using various easing functions in Flex 3. | 00:06:13 | |||
| A Moving Comparison A Moving ComparisonIn this video, Chet Haase of the Flex SDK Team demonstrates and compares how a simple animation effect is constructed both in Flex 3 and in the next version of Flex, codenamed Gumbo. | 00:05:49 | |||
| Flex 3 Effects Flex 3 EffectsSenior Computer Scientist Chet Haase explains the infrastructure of Flex 3 Effects and demonstrates how the elements fit together to provide a full-featured system for animating Flex components. | 00:09:16 | |||
| Gumbo Offers More Intelligent Effects Gumbo Offers More Intelligent EffectsThe next version of Flex has improved functionality and more automatic behavior from the built-in effects, such as auto-reversing transitions. | 00:06:14 | |||
| Gumbo Offers More Animation Possibilities Gumbo Offers More Animation PossibilitiesThe next version of Flex has advanced capabilities for animating arbitrary objects and types. No longer will animations be limited to components or numeric properties. | 00:08:18 | |||
| Dynamic Drag and Drop Dynamic Drag and DropChet Haase of the Flex SDK team shows how to use both built in and customized behavior of the Flex drag and drop system, creating a more dynamic user experience. | 00:06:26 | |||
| Reflexion Container Reflexion ContainerFlex generates realistic reflection effects on visual applications. See how the technique is created and applied to simple images, and how the effect can be modified for more realistic reflections. | 00:07:44 | |||
