Fisix Engine:

The fisix engine is a verlet based physics engine for flash written in Actionscript 3.0. This engine is aimed towards use in games and other relatively cpu intensive real-time applications. We feel that good documentation and help are very important for the success of any good library, which is why we try to keep the wiki updated on a regular basis with tutorials, an extensive manual, sample code and more.

30k! Are you kidding me! It's the broadband generation!

Most advertisers will insist on flash banners being 30k or less, here are our top 5 tips for getting your flash banners down to size.

1) Code, code code! Never tween your animations, if you have the skill and knowledge always code your animations. Use a tween engine if you have to, but make sure it's a lite one.

2) Cut your assets to size. If you don't need to have the whole image in the frame, cut the back end off, even if you cant see it it's still using space in your file. If it doesnt need to be on the canvas remove it.

3) Fireworks is your friend. Propably the best optimiser you can buy, we use this all the time to prep our assets, you can reduce your assets by 90% using this fantastic piece of software.

4) JPEG, PNG or GIF? If you don't need transparency always use JPEG, you can optimise your assets a hell of a lot more than PNG or even GIF.

5) Limit your fonts. Only use fonts you really have to, if you can use standardised fonts like arial, this will reduce your file sizes by not having to embed custom fonts.

Well there you go, we know alot more tips but they are a trade secret! Hopefully these tips will help you in achieving that 30k goal. If you would like Door 15 to produce 30k banners for you please get in touch.
