New examples

[Bob Hartzell]

I have added two new examples to KoolMoves' examples page --http://www.koolmoves.com/examples.html

They are near the bottom.

Any one else have some to contribute?

I have added two new tutorials to the the web site tutorial page -- http://www.koolmoves.com/tutorials.html

They were created by Angela Evans who is in an honours Research program at a university in Australia, researching into how we convey graphics to the visually impaired. She has been using KoolMoves with her daughter and a couple of other 10-year olds.

I added another tutorial by Angela Evans to the tutorial page on creating 3D shapes.

I just want to add 1 thing about that last article. It recomends that you set the FPS to 69-99 FPS. I wouldn't recomend that. You're probably asking why?

1. The Flash 4 Player cannot play any faster than 18 FPS. Setting the FPS higher than 18 will not make it play any faster. When Flash movies worked fine in the Flash 4 player but seem drastically speeded up in Flash 5 player this is the cuase. This speeding up is known as the Flash speed bug.

2. The Flash 5 Player will attempt to play the faster frame rates but on older and newer machines- I tried to view a complicated page that had the FPS set at 75 with a P III with 128 MB Ram and it locked the machine, The Flah 5 player will eat resources and cuase the machine to crash or lock.

3. Macromedia doesn't suggest you set the FPS above 18- becuase of Reasons 1 and 2.

4. Traditional Cell and Frame animation rarely goes faster than 35 FPS. T.V. animations (Cartoons) are typically done at 10 or 12 FPS.

Other than that point I think these 3-D tutorials are great.

I will relay your comment to Angela. Maybe she will correct the tutorial.
