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.
