I've just undertaken another project, designed to archive all of my public work into a single place.... a desktop application anyone can use to create anything from an ever-growing library of classes and template material such as flash picture/video galleries, I'm going to be recreating the famous 3D picture/video wall extension, animated flash menus, ect all customizable and require NO coding whatsover. You just use the graphical user inface to create/design your items, apply whatever effects are available and click a button to export. The program will write all of the XML for you, save the SWF file for you and place it all neatly inside a project folder where you can just either import these things into your existing flash project, or embed them into your HTML website.

I've dubbed this project "Omnibus." I will be constantly updating the software to add the latest effects and material including graphics ect.



So that's all nice but how much? It's free! Why would I do that? Same reason why I'm giving my free time to build video tutorials at www.ascensionsystems.ca/tutorials, to build toward a better flash community. The website you see on the loading splash screen for the program, flashtropolis.com, is not yet an active website but will be as soon as this software is ready to launch. I'll be moving my whole tutorials section from my business website (ascension systems) to Flashtropolis, where I'll be expanding the current vision for the website into new grounds.
