PageFlip Transformation Tutorial Released

I’ve released a new tutorial explaining how to transform the Flash Page Flip effect. This tutorial provides a simple method to help you easily visualize the position, rotation and scale of the Flash PageFlip book.

Comic Relief

I was looking for a little levity and I came across the popular web comic XKCD which is full of geek related giggles. The comics were so good that I read them all in a single sitting. If you start at the beginning you can watch the author Randall Munroe refine his style as he progresses through more than 300 comic strips.

But before you set out on your comic adventure, I feel it’s only fair to warn you that Mr. Munroe used to work at N.A.S.A developing robots and whatnot so an appreciation for occasional high level math references will prove beneficial.

Maybe Free is Too Cheap

I was recently contacted by someone asking if the page flip effect currently being sold on this site for 200€ (about $275) was using the old code I gave away for free. Much to my surprise, it was. The 200€ price increase doesn’t even add any new features.

I can appreciate a guy trying to make a buck and all, but that price seems especially steep when you consider the fact that you’ll only be getting a SWF file (not the FLA) because as the site states:

“We don’t sell our source files, so you can’t make any modifications yourself…”

So what do you think about that?
