Video: From code optimization to bytecode optimization

September 25, 2009 by Carlo Matic

Joa showed all of his Open-Source Eclipse plug-ins he wrote within the last months. He started to write a whole framework called Apparat to optimize flash applications in different ways like reducing filesize of embedded images and changing bytecode commands as well as using bytecode inline.

The result was an unbelievable groth of frames per second. Though not all of the plug-ins are ready to use it was very impressive to see what is possible at the lowest level of coding. So fasten your seat belts and take a look yourself how fast a SWF can be: Part 1 & Part 2.

FDT tamed the Snow Leopard

September 14, 2009 by Carlo Matic

 

With the recent release of Apples new operating system “Snow Leopard” many applications had problems running on it. Our development team put a lot of effort to solve these problems for FDT in a very short time. Taming such dangerous animals usually takes months, but our developers knew how to grab this beast at its tail, and were very quick ;).
