Amen KAMALELDINE Wed, 19 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.actionscript.org/resources/articles/742/1/Physics-in-ActionScript-30/Page1.html I wanted to try something fun with Flash, so I did a quick search for "Flash Physics Engine." Lo and behold, I struck gold. Box2DFlashAS3 is an open source ActionScript 3.0 conversion of the C++ Physics Engine Box2D. I'm very impressed with its well coded structure and easily implemented nature. I learned a few new things that will change how I code forever just by reading through their example files.

Mike McKinnon Wed, 28 Nov 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.actionscript.org/resources/articles/703/1/Basic-Activity-Tracking-with-Flash-Actionscript-20-and-ASPNET-20/Page1.html Difficulty: IntermediateIn this article I will be demonstrating how to track activities in your flash application by using LoadVariables to pass arguments to a waiting asp.net page (.aspx) to process however you want. My example utilizes an SQL Server database to store the activities, but you could utilize any database connection via ASP.NET 2.0.   This article touches upon basic OOP principals and includes example code in both Actionscript 2.0 for the flash tracking and C# for the server side processing.  I also utilize a simple utility class in Actionscript to contain the methods necessary to connect to the asp.net web page.
