"HYPE is a creative coding framework built on top of ActionScript 3. The goal of HYPE is to allow newcomers to Flash and ActionScript to creatively play and express themselves while they are learning how to program."
(Branden Hall and Joshua Davis)Looks promising, but there is pretty much no information about it. Anyone know when it will available?

looks like u need to know a fair bit than intermediate actionscript in order to use this
- I'd say the same knowledge required for using tweener et similarAutokern

Nothing really here that you could not find on flashkit.com or flashden.net, just sayin.

var maxCircles:int = 777;
var circleNum:int;
for(var i:int = 0; i<maxCircles; i++)
{
circleNum = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 4 - 1);
var circle = new Circle([circleNum]);
circle.x = Math.random * stage.stageWidth;
circle.y = Math.random * stage.stageHeight;
addChild(circle);
}

sort of like Processing for Flash? Only made it too complicated
import hype.extended.behavior.MouseFoll...
var behavior = new MouseFollowEase(myCircle, 0.1);
behavior.start();VS
void setup() {
size(500,500);
}
void draw(){
background(0);
ellipse(mouseX, mouseY, 55, 55);
}The processing version makes much more sense to non programmers, I mean importing and activating classes confuses the hell out of newbies. I understand the HYPE example has easing but I'm more talking about the fact the processing version shows the direct wiring between the mouse and the circle which is easier to understand for beginners and will help them learn the ins and out and not the copy and pasting

Yes, I'm a designer, but I use to code stuff for myself and sometimes for others. I learned quite a bit AS2 but when AS3 came I just gave up on working with Flash.
Is HYPE good for me? Maybe...but I don't see myself using HYPE for a client's project, just for my personal projects I guess...
But I like the idea of Flash frameworks!
Processing is another thing...
