Wacom Artz II 6×8 Tablet
I finally found my Wacom Artz II tablet! This thing has been in the closet collecting dust for about 4 years. Now that I’m getting back into Flash, it’s time to use it again. Unfortunately, the new Compaq computers do not come with a serial port so I had to go buy a serial to USB adaptor on eBay for $10. Not a bad price for a good adapter. I can’t wait to get it. There’s plenty to animate and learn - I’ve been using SwishMax for the effects but I’d like to learn how to do it in Flash. At times I think that perhaps doing it in SwishMax and then exporting and using it in Flash may be the ideal solution for complex effects.
Another great tool out there is Sothink’s SWF Decompiler. You can rip any and every resource from a SWF file and get an FLA file from it. It’s just awesome! Great way to rip and learn how to get things done with ActionScript.
