Since you’ve been a Flash developer, how evolved the industry, and what course do you think it will take?

Since 2006, when I’ve started programming, Flash developed from a a procedural AS 2.0 programming language to a mature OOP AS 3.0 one. Flash developed from a simple animation program to a solid platform. Now, Flash technology reached its apogee, this considering that Flash 11 will have “Stage 3D Accelerated Graphics Rendering (GPU) Support”. This will create incredible possibilities for developers. For the future, I’m expecting major changes in this industry. I’m sure most of the web games will be made in Flash. Also, an important vector in the development of the industry will be the known Flash community’s creativity.

You’ve recently released Mouse and Touch Template, a new component in your portfolio optimized for touchscreen mobiles or PC’s. Why did you choose to develop this new component?

Day by day, Flash mobile presence is actively increasing. As a Flash developer, I think it’s necessary to take this fact in consideration.

You have almost 3 years of FlashComponents.net experience and 5 years of Flash programming. What can you recommend to an enthusiastic Flash beginner?

He must be professional, and treat with seriousness his work. As known, one of the reason why Flash got a bad reputation is because a lot of beginners realized sites without thinking about optimization or usability. That’s why now there is this confusion about Flash. Being professional it’s a rule in any other technology. For example in JavaScript a for loop that isn’t optimized can block the browser.

What components should a visitor definitely check while at FlashComponents.net ?

The Wall Photography Template PayPal Shopping Cart, the 3D Cube Banner Rotator XML, and the ikoOte v1.0 – XML/Flash website.

Now FlashComponents.net is developing a new category – Interactive Technology Category – for products made in technologies aside Flash, like HTML5. Are you thinking about developing products in other technologies?

It’s a great idea that FlashComponents.net is adding a new category for different technologies. I’m open to any proposal. HTML5 it’s an important part of the Web, but at this moment it has a lot of limitations. It has potential, but it’s too fast to consider it for realizing complex components.I’ve recently started to read a book about canvas – “HTML5 Canvas” – and I can say that after a few years of OOP programming, I don’t find it very easy to write procedural JS code. I find JS programming language obsolete. From all programming languages I know, JS is the only one that stayed procedural, not to mention about its browser incompatibilities.

To what kind of components should we expect from FWDesign in the near future?

Now we’re impatiently waiting the Flash 11 release. What we can say for the future, is that we will realize several 3D components.
