Some flashy goodness for your Tuesday morning

I realized that I hadn’t looked at Flash Insider in quite a while. So, I stopped by only to find out that it had shut down! Anyways, it reminded me of some stuff that I’d been meaning to post anyways…

Cromm Cruac DesignCromm Cruac is a portfolio site with some really nice Flash work, the interface is a bit challenging, but really rich.

Hoss Gifford doesn’t want Flash authors to use their own scrollbars while there exist just fine ones in the browser. I agree with him to the extent that if you are doing a text-heavy html-like site doing a non-standard scrollbar is dumb. Then again, if you are doing a site like that, why do it in Flash anyway?

If you haven’t checked out the swfObject before, you should. It is very useful for all your embedding needs.

Finally, Daniel Tietze tell you how to make your own uTube.

Check out the online demo, it is very fun. Plus bonus is that he is providing the source code which is just fabulous for learning some advanced flash stuff. Daniel Hai is my new hero.

Really fun and cool flash site

I got this off of John Nack’s blog It is just a little site that lets you draw a picture and then does some slick animating of it in 3D in flash. It was done by Masayuki Kido, who is a pretty awesome flash programmer.

The above is just something simple that I drew in his PicTaps flash page.

Also, how smart is that! Making it easy to imbed your drawing onto your own blog. A page outta youtube’s book.

Also, if you think the above is fun check out his Missing Link Toy, very nicely done.

a lovely little interactive flash-art site. Some parts are more effective than others, but it is a very imaginative and appropriate use of Flash here. Definitely an inspiration.

Paul Neave

At this point, you’ve probably heard about Neave.tv, which is a nice experiment with a flash-based TV channel. Mostly, I like the transitions between the videos. I hadn’t bothered to surf over to his main site before, there are some great (even better than neave.tv) flash projects that he’s done. Worth looking at for Flash inspiration.

Splice

Want to learn about remixing, but don’t want to make the investment in software or hardware? Splice is a nice combo between social network and an online flash-based remixing tool. A great way to get started and get advice and support as well.

If there were ever doubts to the power of Flash

This is a Flash9 mini-photoshop. It’s got a long way to go, but it is pretty amazing how much is there. It really should dispel any myth about Flash being a rich enough platform for serious development.

Fauxto… like photo.
