Creating an application like Aviary's Raven

[morraine]

Hello Every one,

i wonder? are there any books or tutorials i can get that will point me into the right direction to creating my own flex/flash application like Aviary.com - Raven ? (if your not sure what that is it is an artist vector editing application in flash like illustrator)

I'm coming from an object oriented PHP5 back ground and i want to create this kind of application in flash/flex.

does anyone know where i could start?

(sorry if this is the wrong forum area for this question but i was not sure where to put it to get the right exposure to it)

Thanks

Hello,

That is a pretty significant one man project to take on!

A lot of the project is going to be math (AS3 classes). I would start out by identifying exactly what math classes I needed to use, and building those out. Quite possibly, you can find some of these in open source projects etc. - at least as a base to test and develop from.

You may well want to raise that aspect as a question in the AS3 forum here.

Thanks for the reply Peter i will ask that in the AS3 forum.

Yes it does sound like quite a significat project, but if i could build a third of the functionaly of raven by christmas in my generours spare time then i will be happy.

Thanks
