Degrafa + HYPE Basic Example
On Halloween Branden Hall and Joshua Davis released the HYPE framework into the wild. As they describe it, the Hype framework is:
… a creative coding framework built on top of ActionScript 3. A major goal of HYPE is to allow newcomers to Flash and ActionScript to creatively play and express themselves while they are learning how to program.
After seeing Joshua Davis give a talk at Adobe MAX I was excited to start playing around with the framework. Well, that and seeing how Degrafa AS3 and HYPE might work together.
Below is a basic example I put together that takes some of what Branden Hall walked through in a demo and some of what was demoed at 360|Flex Indy. The example uses one of Degrafa’s Gear AutoShapes, which is drawn to a MovieClip and manipulated with the HYPE framework.
As I have more time I’d like put together some more complex examples. In the mean time, if anyone else has an example of Degrafa + HYPE, we’d love to see it.

Not sure how I missed your post! Awesome work – I’m going to have to look into Degrafa – drop me a line when you have a chance, I’d love to chat about the SWF-related stuff that appears to be in Degrafa.

Hi Branden,
Thanks for the kind words. The example was pretty basic and more an exploration of mixing Degrafa and HYPE. I’m loving HYPE! I sent you an email to get the conversation going about the SWF-related stuff.
