Pixel Bow

I made an image viewer using Flex and Actionscript 3 where you can view the images as thumbnails and select an image and annotate it and even download that image with your annotations on it or save it to my server. Since I can view these images later, this can be a good way to send me a secret message ;)

Anyway here you can view my pixel bow application or download it and embed it in your website. Or even better, you can download my source code and play around with it.

Your comments are appreciated :)

Making an Interactive Logo in Flex

Our first assignment for the Multimedia Authoring course was to make an interactive logo which navigates back to the home page when clicked. Nothing special, just an exercise to get familiar with Flex and AS3.

Since it had to be a portfolio page in the end, I wanted to use my name and initials. And while doing this I wanted a mascot for my logo, which happened to be an owl by using 2 different fonts. About the effects I used, I move the eyes of the owl according to the mouse position. And add blur effect when the logo is clicked.

You can download the source code for my logo component or check out the demo flex application.

Oh, and the documentation of my code is already embedded as comments in my files. Let me know if you have problems running the application or have any questions related..

Learn Turkish!

Here is a sneak preview of the project I am working on right now.
It is an online Flash application which will let its users learn a language, Turkish.
I drew a small plan of the application, showing how it will look in the end.

The main page will only show a flash animation and the name of the program which will be linking to the “About” page for this program. Every small detail in this flash animation will lead the user to a different lesson.

The lessons page will be dynamically generated, passing a parameter from the main page to the lessons page will let the lessons page retrieve the respective xml file for that lesson. Each xml file will hold the information of the resources to be used in that lesson. Every lesson will have an information link, image and audio for the vocabulary, games and video and a test in the end.

I will also post the flow chart of this project soon.
You can follow the updates of this online program at Turkish.BloggingGeek.Com
