I am now working at Creative Donkeys as a Flash Developer.

Woot?

For the past few days I’ve been messing around with the API that Google Maps put out for Flash. It lets you use Google maps in your own Flash/AIR applications and customize them however you want. I’m going to explain how to make your own AIR app that lets you display bus routes and stops using the Google Maps API and ZendAMF.

We’re also going to create a function that lets us see the approximate time the next bus will come to any given stop (ex. “5 minutes until the next bus”).

I just thought I’d plug this. I’m hosting and administering this gaming related site. They have a bunch of E3 coverage and alot of great plans for the future.

Check it out.

I’ve been working with as3isolib for quite some time now and since I can’t find many tutorials on how to do things, here’s a somewhat simple one to create a terrain with a mario sprite (loaded from an external SWF) to walk around in.

You can view the finished product and the source code here (right click to view source).

Made this with the UDK engine over the past couple days. Complete with lighting, triggers, post-processing effects, and some other little things.
