Hype is a creative coding framework for the AS3. The Flash is a highly creative medium and the ActionScript 3 is a powerful language. It is said to speed up while working with the Flash as the AS3 can be time-consuming and there are many things to do such as planning and setup of the Flash movies before you can get anything actually done. This is where the HYPE comes in.

The HYPE is a creative coding framework that is built on top of the ActionScript 3. A major goal of the HYPE is to allow the newcomers to Flash and ActionScript that enables Flash developers of every level to creatively play and express themselves. The framework is extendible as it is possible to write many new classes and we can improve them. Many examples are provided at the HYPE website that are worth trying out.

To get started, the user needs to know the most basic knowledge of programming such as variables, conditionals, loops and functions. As the user learns more about programming, they can extend the HYPE and thus grow their skills simultaneously inspiring the next generation.

For more than 10 years, the Flash community has been incredibly unique in both it’s vibrancy and creativity. This is basically a community that was essentially created by the users. It was driven by the beautiful, amazing and the cool things that the people were creating with the Flash. In the beginning, the most innovative works were created by the designers, artists and other non-developers. These were the people who created the “hype” that made the Flash to rise way above any other similar technologies. But today these enthusiasts are becoming an endangered species.

Flash has developed over the past decade. It has developed in such a way that they have blocked the non-developers from even getting started. With the older versions of the Flash one could easily learn about the various tools and how to program the ActionScript almost entirely through the creative play. With the recent iterations, unless you have a background in an object-oriented programming, that method of learning by doing is not a good option. HYPE is not meant for the people who are new to programming. Instead, HYPE is for anyone who regardless of their skill wants to play with the codes. The main idea of HYPE is to make the Flash fun again.
