Adobe Flash has been able to
retain its popularity and reputation solely because of its capacity to scale
itself to meet the requirements of users which changes drastically within short
spans of time. Evolution of Flash and the ActionScript platform has been highly
resourceful enabling Flash developers to develop entities in high standards.
Users from all over the globe
have become very sophisticated and the websites they have started using are
also expected to be top-notch. The progress in technological advancements has
been rapid in the last decade keeping the process of development of other
technologies on their toes. The increase in bandwidth especially has made it
simpler for end users to access material on the web which is more evolved and browse
through web pages rich content within seconds. From being a simple platform for
developing vector animations for the
web, it has matured into one used to develop complex applications run on
multiple platforms.
The applications developed by
Flash programmers tend to consist of graphics, animation, video and sound.
These media content is completely controlled in the Adobe Flash platform using ActionScript 3.0 which is a powerful
language using object oriented programming. The latest inclusion in Flash’s
process of evolution is the addition of the 3rd dimension in its
applications and games.
Already there are various 3D
features existing in Adobe Flash Player and Flash Professional CS5 which have
been used to develop projects using the Adobe Flash platform and ActionScript
3.0. The advancements which have been planned in the Flash platform are
anticipated to enable a Flash developer to integrate add-ons to enhance the 3rd
dimensional functionality during project development.
Flash professional CS4 was the first version to integrate 3D in the
flash platform for flash developers to use although many other developers have
found methods to simulate 3D attributes in their Flash projects. As of this
version of Flash, the video content integrated in a project can be enhanced to
have 3 dimensions. This can be done using the options available in the
interface of Flash or by utilizing the coding aspect of ActionScript. Objects
in the flash platform used to have the horizontal
property of ‘x’ and the vertical
property of ‘y’. In addition to these two dimensions a Flash programmer can
add third dimension of ‘z’ which
will define the depth of the object to
their project. Additional functions of moving and rotating the object in
the 3D space can also be activated using this version of Flash.
Using these options the objects
which are still in 2 dimensions can be manipulated and observed on the 3D
space. Even by using a third party platform these actions can be performed by
the Flash ActionScript programmers. By default the Flash platform considers the objects as two dimensional only, only
when the object which is placed is altered it starts taking the 3rd
dimension into consideration.
