Hey, it’s December! The December PittMFUG meeting will be on Thursday December 17th, 6:30pm at New Perspective. We’ll be talking animation and Open Source Flash Development, so there’s a little something for everyone.

Here’s all the details:

Character Animation in Flash – Nathan Mazur
Local cartoonist / animator Nathan Mazur will demonstrate how he sets up a character for animation in Flash, some standard practices for exporting the animation to video, as well as the plugins he uses to streamline his workflow. He will also share some examples of his work that have helped him develop his current techniques through trial and error. This is a design topic for all levels.

Open Source Flash Development: Breaking the Barriers of the Flash IDE – Mick Rose
Open source Flash has been a revolution for Flash and has made a major impact on how people build Flash content. The open source tools available expand on Flash’s existing tool set, enabling you to perform such tasks as easily create full RIA experiences, AS2 to AS3 integration, & debugging tools. However, many of these useful tools are powerful yet lack documentation.

This presentation explains in step-by-step detail how to use some very useful open source solutions. This is an intermediate to advanced developer topic.

Please RSVP via email or on facebook .
