Creative people are a special kind of animal. Not that they’re not human. They are. But they are very different. So we expect them to behave differently, dress differently, think differently and have special – sometimes awkward – preferences.

The guys from JumpeyeComponents look to get inside the creatives’ heads by asking a simple question:

Which are the most important 10 things you can’t live without?

Creatives are invited to answer this question by commenting on this blog post.

So if you’re a creative, help these guys out by naming some of the things you love and couldn’t live without, like your Mac macaroni macaw machine mackintosh mackerel… you get the idea.

AS3

AS3 stands for ActionScript 3, the programming language used for the development of animations, websites and software using Adobe Flash. ActionScript 3 was launched in 2006, replacing the clumsy ActionScript 2.

FP10

In order to work, the animations, websites and software coded in ActionScript 3 require at least FP9, which stands for Flash Player 9. However, we advise you to use FP10 (Flash Player 10).

BannerSnack

The BannerSnack software is coded in ActionScript 3, meaning that in order to work with it, you need to have Flash Player 9 or 10 installed.

Also, the flash banners you create with BannerSnack will require Flash Player 9 or 10.

Issues you might encounter

Because ActionScript 3 banners require the latest versions of Flash Player, some advertising networks don’t accept them. Yet.

336×850 px. A banner.

This is the very first time I see something like this, even though if you think about the 300×600 px banner, the banner doesn’t seem to look that outrageously big.

The following banner, found on a MySpace page, is a perfect example of how NOT to advertise online.

Why? Well, firstly because it’s pretty annoying, and secondly, it never stops eating all my CPU’s resources.

I’m going to insert the more attribute before the banner since I don’t want it on the main page. Click “Read the rest of this entry” on your own risk.
