I’m off to Egypt tomorrow, decided to post what little I have of Onyx 3.0 for the flex developer derby.  It’s a bit of a rush job — the demo online is about 2-3 weeks of work, but it should allow you folks to play around with the basics of what Onyx does.  It’s a live video mixing environment — unfortunately it only allows flvs right now, when MovieClip capabilities come back, it’ll be a lot more useful.  Changing framerates is so huge for performance …..

 Anyways, off to see two of my best friends getting married in Egypt, I’ll begin blogging in July after my hangover is gone (hopefully).

I needed to write an event drawing API in as3 and needed to be able to map an indefinite amount of custom functions to events.  The events needed to be saved in XML format, and played back at any speed.  I’ve put up a version for the public to play with — it’s saving to a database now (with the compression method mentioned below).  All this version allows you to do currently is record pencil movements and creating textfields — but it’s at a point at least where you guys can use it.  It’s having issues with flashvars and Mac OSX browsers right now, I’ll look into it.  This engine was created for the new version of onyx due out later this year.  Take a look:
