FLASHSIM AS2 COMPONENTS

TUESDAY, JULY 20 2004 @ 09:18 PM

Jonathan Kaye, author of "Flash MX for Interactive Simulation" has released a new set of components, based on the ones developed for the book, but upgraded to ActionScript 2.0 and tested on both versions 6 and 7 of the Flash Player.

The FXMIS set of components contains a number of interface objects, commonly used to build machine simulations. You will find joysticks, knobs, gauges, lamps, dials, etc., some of them very complex in functionality. However, configuring and changing their look and feel couldn't be any easier. All you have to do is create the visuals you want the components to use, and then set the appropriate parameters on the properties panel.

Something that good can't be released for free, but there is a special price for those who have already purchased Jonathan's book. You can learn more and buy the components here. Also, if you create your own "skins" for the FMXIS components and you share them with other users, you could get the components for free and maybe make a few bucks on the side.

Oh, and if you use the banner on the left to buy the components, Jonathan will make me rich :)

While I think these components are very well done, I have never had a situation, yet, where I needed these kind of simulated controls. They are fun to play with though. :P
