So I checked out CartoonSmart blog as I do most days and it directed me to the coolest milk game I have ever seen or played. Milk has really pushed their product, with some of the best tv commercials and now a very cool game GetTheGlass.com.

Test your skills and see if you can Get The Glass it’s a very cool Flash Game – GetTheGlass.com

My Favorite Commercial

So I was doing some googling and found out they have a very cool flash website that is worth taking a look at.

If you have a couple of minutes take a look, I love how they leveraged just about every cool feature of flash, utilizing video within the site as well.

This allows you to setup a time delay before playing the next frames so you can have different start times.

stop();
var timer:Timer = new Timer(Math.random() * (10000 – 2000) + 1000, 1);
timer.start();
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, hope);

function hope(event:TimerEvent):void{
play();
}

This guy has to be the best Flash Instructor I have ever had. His style and lessons just fit in with how I approach learning new things in flash. Over the last year he has expanded and starting adding some blender tutorials and bringing other people in to teach on different topics. All of the lessons are video demonstrations of him actually going through the process of creating the objects with him explaining the finer details answering those vital questions especially when it comes to action script the golrious question of Why?

The latest software he has started covering is ToonBoom I haven’t had a chance yet to check out these lessons but he has one available for free so I will deffinately be taking look into to see if this is something I’m more interested in learning.  I highly recommend checking it out over at – ToonBoom Animate: Our Second Totally Free Lesson!

You Tube it… http://blog.elitegd.com/2008/10/21/need-online-video-you-tube-it/ http://blog.elitegd.com/2008/10/21/need-online-video-you-tube-it/#comments Tue, 21 Oct 2008 22:36:15 +0000 George Matthews http://blog.elitegd.com/?p=45 If your looking to add video to your website to entertain, deliver information or educate your users but don’t have a lot for a budget? You tube could be the answer for you. You Tube allows for you to easily upload your videos house a channel and even incorporate video into your own website all for the low price of 0$, yup it’s completely free to use and to setup your own You Tube Channel.

This removes having to get a video in the right format for all web users one of the limitations of quick time or windows media, you tube’s video uses flash technology that is on 98% of the world’s computers.  Also this will help you market yourself as you will be joining the online video community so that people can be directed to your website through your YouTube Channel.

So you gain a new place to gain visitors, you don’t need to worry about bandwidth has the video is on you tube’s servers, and you get your video online without any cost or only a minor fee if you hire someone to incorporate it into your current website.

However if you are looking to get video added to your website that you don’t want shared across youtube and only on your website I offer adding a flash video application for only $50 per video, which gives you all of the functionality of a youtube video but you control the quality of the video and who can add the video to thier website.
