This is a Banner ad for iShares, it contains a small Isometric building block game. The aim is to create the 3D iShares logo out of the scattered building blocks. This game was built on top of an AS2 Isometric engine I developed to be lite weight for the purposes of serving through banner hosting and media companies.
It has an autoplay feature which kicks in after 30seconds and it has an “Auto Build” feature, click the button in the bottom left to activate.
Add some Sex to your Tweens with this new easing equation
by Scott King on Feb.04, 2010, under ActionScript, Flash
I was having a beer with one of my very talented colleagues Robert Shearing (robshearing.com) and we got to talking about the make-up of the various easing equations for usage in Tween engines such as TweenLite. Most of these equations are still based on Robert Penner’s original 11 easing equations: Circ, Cubic, Elastic, Expo, Linear, Quad, Quart, Quint and Sine.
After a few beers we decided that we needed to create a new Easing equation. We figured that is if Quint was to the power of 5, then logically we create an equation to the power of 6.. but what to call it.. after a few more beers we figured if Quart is the power of 4 and Quint is the power of 5 then the power of 6 should be simply called “Sex”. Coincidentally, this is also the Latin word for six.
This gives us a new, slightly sharper Ease and the bonus ability to have some really cool easing combinations such as Sex.EaseIn, Sex.EaseOut and everyones favorite, Sex.EaseInOut.
