Papervision3D tutorials
Really good series of Papervision3D 2.0 (Great White) articles over at tartiflop.
gTween; the new tweening daddy?
Just read the latest post on Grant Skinner’s site. His new gTween engine sounds very powerful and comes in at only 4.5k! Intend to give it a test drive very soon, but I don’t doubt it’ll be impressive.
iPhone sync takes ages

His iPhone Safari Flick Navigation demo is really impressive and opens up new ways of serving web content to iPhone/iPod […]

Some of these would make perfect Flash/iPhone games now. Hmmmm…fMAME; MAME in Flash!!!
OMG!!!
Shaving huge chunks off Flex apps
I haven’t had the chance to check this out myself, but darklump.co.uk blogs that excluding font outlines can save 200k off the size of an exported Flex application. Massive saving.
Thanks to Forever 4th for the link.
