In 1994, Hasselhoff was scheduled to perform a concert on pay-per-view from Atlantic City. The concert was expected to help reignite his singing career in the United States. However, on the night of the concert, O.J. Simpson was involved in a police chase in southern California. Viewership of the concert was significantly lower than expected due to the live coverage of the chase. (wikipedia)
In 2011 Carl Schooff launched his first ActionScript tutorial on activetuts+. On that same day, Adobe announced it would no longer support development of Flash Player on mobile devices. Due to all the clutter on twitter, no one saw his tweet.
Neither man gave up, and proceeded to have fulfilling success in their careers.

Hey folks,
Just wanted to check in and give you a little inside scoop on what’s going on at snorkl.tv and give you some stuff to play with. Usually these SnorklReports are about traffic and such. This one’s a bit different…

The swf above illustrates 32 BlitMasks running simultaneously. The slick performance absolutely stomps any other method available for moving so many bitmaps at the same time. Silky, smooth and totally seamless!
Remember those days of trying to do a seamless scrolling loop in Flash? You would make 2 copies of a Movie Clip and move them both across the screen only to painstakingly have to offset the whole mess to perform a seamless loop?
GreenSock’s BlitMask wrap feature ends all that. Learn how to get started with BlitMasks and enhance Flash performance with this amazing new tool.

I had 20 minutes to kill last night while waiting for Google Analytics to update. I asked myself,
“Self, wouldn’t it be fun to just play around and try to hammer the crap out of the Flash Player?”
I replied, “yes”.

Here I have a mash-up of 3 very useful techniques:
Create an array of all children inside any Movie Clip or DisplayObjectContainer
Shuffle that array
Animate all the items in that array in sequence
And oh yeah, no instance names.

Just wanted to provide you guys with a sound starting point for building grids and more importantly animating them in clever ways. I’m going to do a quick rundown in the video and leave you with a few files to poke around in. I’m sure you will find a few ways to implement these strategies into your own projects.

My name is Carl Schooff and I would like to welcome you to Snorkl.tv. I'm just starting to archive my 12 years of Flash knowledge in the most ridiculous fashion possible. Stick around you might just learn something for a change:)
