If you want to use other Haar cascades for your flash Face Tracker we have a simple php script to convert the XML file to ActioinScript.

We have build a face tracker in flash, that detects your face through your webcam and overlays it with a 3d object.

I was contacted by bryngfors.com for an interview regarding my part of the development on tackfilm.se. It got quite extensive.

Yesterday we threw this togheter. It’s extremly temporary and we will make it more useful after holidays. But for now, please browse our, yet to be filled, portfolio! Welcome!

Here’s a great post covering some tools and librarys you might want to use when developing flash. Some of them may be overkill, but I can sureley stand by the point about Flash Builder 4, and with upcoming Flash CS5 integration between the two tools, it seems like the only way to walk!

Flash Developer Toolbox Essentials

I’d like to give a heads up for those of you who haven’t already stumbled upon Peter Lorent. He talks about workflow and some design patterns. Cheatsheets and other useful stuff you’d thought you already knew.

I always tend to forget this simple, neglected row.

var _b: Boolean = true;
var _n: int;
_b ? _n = 0 : _n = 1;

I can’t understand how I didn’t see this one. Must be one of the setbacks of working freelance. You tend to get stuck with your old habits!

Another snippet I’d like to share.

object.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
	function(e: MouseEvent): void{
		callFunction(e, args)
	});

private function callFunction(e: MouseEvent, args:*): void
{
	trace(args);
}
