I need some help.
Is there a way to use Kinect (on windows) using Adobe tools? Flash? AS3?
Is there any good tutorial for it.
Basically I need a basic feature - a navigation menu with my own UI.
Can anyone give some links to tutorials? Sample code?
I could not find any but I am sure there are many examples on the web.
Regards
Yoav
Yes this is possible! You need to use an ANE.
I would start here:
This is the git repot for the AIRKinect extension
Source:
https://github.com/AS3NUI/airkinect-2-core

Once you have the files check out this video tutorial on how to get started

just downloaded the Adobe XD and i think i am going to love it. I just have a problem Exporting it from Adobe XD into HTML / JS / CSS and port it to my code in Visual Studio, so i can do WebForm.
How is this possible.
Adobe XD has a plugin ecosystem where you can download a third-party built plugin to achieve tasks not supported by Adobe XD itself. For web export, I can recommend a plugin called "Web Export."
In order to use the plugin,
Make sure you have the latest version of XD
Go to Plugins > Discover Plugins > Search "Web Export"
Click "Install"
Hope this helps!
Natively, you can't (yet), although some external plugins can help you achieve that.
Adobe XD is a prototyping tool, ie it has been designed for producing the designs of websites and app before passing it to a developer that will "manually" build the HTML/CSS/JS out of it.
However, the export to HTML/CSS/JS feature has been asked before by the community many times and the Adobe team is currently working on it (check this and this).
AdobeXD positions elements on a canvas with x and y coordinates. This is not how HTML/CSS works for websites. You need to create an html structure and position elements with grids, flex, etc.
You could use position:absolute and position the html nodes like you would do in AdobeXD, but that will not play well with different devices and when you will do the responsive code.
There are applications and plugins that will import the html and css with absolute position, but there's not much you can do with that code. There's also Desech Studio that imports AdobeXD relatively, but it will not be pixel perfect and you then have to adjust margins and widths yourself.
Right now most people write the html/css by hand without any tools, because the tools have limitations.
You can use Anima plugin for that.

I want to be able to read at least some of the info a pdf has, this is in mobile, using an installed app built with Air.
Are there any libraries or methods to do this?.
Thanks.
Easiest way to do it is through StageWebView if you are running iOS. On Android, I haven't really found a good way to do it. There are no good libraries for it. Almost every PDF-related AS3 library is focused on writing PDFs, not displaying them. I've found a few in the past that can display them, but the end result is terrible and slow.
Basically I have an project where I would like to modify some text in a XML file rather than in the document itself.
I've had a Google and all the tutorials lead to AS2 which doesn't work in Flash CC. I've also downloaded some templates off ActiveDen but they are all in AS2.
Anywho is there any good starting points to do this? I'm a total noob at AS but what I'm asking for doesn't sound too hard.
Cheers,
You can always Google using keywords, like writing your question's title, I found this tutorial
Try to follow step by step and I'm sure that you will learn and solve your issue.
Is there anywhere a GOOD tutorial page where I can learn ActionScript 3 ? Or can you help me out ?
I don't use a GRAPHICAL DESIGNER and I don't want to. All I need is code.
For example: things I need to learn quick:
Buttons and TextFields (basic form stuff)
Drawing canvas (like the html5 canvas)
Using FlashDevelop + Flash SDK, no plugins, no nothing. I just got it to work (compile, build and start a blank piece of nothing) and now I need to see what I can do with the ActionScript code.
Solved: Thanks to Dannyw the 2 items above could be solved directly (with minor additions)!
Julian's answer is very helpful too. Since I also wanted to browse through all standard classes in Flash:

I have some tips for you to become a great flashdeveloper:
Drop everything you know, start fresh. You have strange assumptions of how the workflow should be. If you want to become professional, you should be open for other workflows.
If your coming from actionscript 2, Dont think as2 is like as3, so don't try to do the AS2 thing with AS3. Again, drop everything you know.
Read & Learn the Adobe LiveDocs
Learn how the display list works.
Learn AS3 coding standards, learn to write clean readable code, later try to learn design patterns.
Learn how to use common actionscript libraries, TweenLite, Gaia framework, RobotLegs, Temple Library, Pure MVC, Away3D, as3corelib etc.
Dont try to reinvent the wheel, dont create your own framework, because you think there is none like yours, most starters step into that trap.
Code never inside the Flash IDE actionspanel, there are really nice actionscript editors like FlashDevelop, FDT, FlashBuilder, IntelliJ. But dont lose yourself in code, there is a lot visual stuff that can faster be build using the Flash IDE, so find a nice workflow, instead of limiting yourself.
if you like video tutorials; videos on gotoAndLearn.com, most have common practices.
If you like to learn from opensource projects: find as3 projects on github.com or wonderfl, check out how they did it.
if you like to read blogs: feeds.adobe.com is full of nice relavant blogs. Learn from the best.
Last but not least: there is no ultimate guide to become a flashdevelop-code-only-flash-developer. Like sport, you have to train and just experiment right away. So be open, use google alot, try to challenge yourself with excercises and fun experiments.

I learnt actionscript the same way you intend to, just by reading tutorials on the internet and picking bits up as I went along. I eventually bought myself a big old actionscript bible too (Essential Actionscript 3.0 by Colin Moock), but can safely say that the internet was my most valuable resource!
Have fun with the tutorials :)

BTW, You should almostly declare this website as holy when programming in AS3.
Using adobe flash or macromedia is recommended, follow these tutorials I learnt everything about flash from this website.

Hi I am sorry if this question is not appropriate for this form. Please don not give me negative marks. Simply suggest it and I will remove the post. If its ok then I will delete these these top lines later.
I am using cs6 and exporting to html5 using the CreateJS extension. It seems the action-script will not work unless you go into the java file and tweak it.
My question is has anyone found any great tutorials on how to tweak the action-script to work in the HTML5 export file using CreateJS?
ActionScript is ignored by the Toolkit for CreateJS. You can use some JavaScript using this syntax:
/* JS
this.gotoAndPlay("label");
*/
For future questions, I recommend http://community.createjs.com, which is actively monitored.
Cheers,
