Matt and I gave our Drupal/Flash presentation yesterday. Thanks to everyone who came out, we got some really good feedback from the audience. The link to the demo site and source files is:

A couple of other really interesting technologies I hadn’t heard about before:

Gaia
Gaia is an AS2/AS3 framework that allows you to very quickly build out a project. It creates the source files for navigation, basic interaction and transitioning of scenes. It also automatically creates a directory structure and the deploy files with SWFAddress and SWFObject. Best of all, it’s open source, so you can integrate it with your current way of working.

SourceBinder
SourceBinder is a node-based online tool that allows you to write/customize AS3 on the fly. You can attach nodes together in the interface. The example presented was a PaperVision scene. One node was used to create/customize a 3d object — another node was attached to control the position based on the mouse. As the movie plays, you can tweak the settings to get the look/feeling you want.

    Just the resource I was looking for! I’m struggling to reproduce something similar with Drupal.
    Unfortunately, the link’s broken :(
    Could you *pleeeez* fix it?

    Thx.

    ps: I’m stuck with getting a CCK imagefield url from a views.get, if you have some insights…

    The link is back and I found a solution here.
    Having a great day after all.
    Thanks again for sharing this.
