Mad Science Department

Welcome to my lab. It here that I test my experimental work and you are my guinea pig.

Everything is available "as is" free for personal use and distribution. Learn, teach, just have fun. If you would like to use any of the items you find here for commercial purposes, please contact me.

Likewise, if perchance you unearth a "bug" then let me know as well (try to be as accurate as possible).

Flash Waving Flag FX v1.0

A simple but handy waving flag effect written in Flash MX 2004.

Flash Photo Album v2.0

Enhanced version of dynamic photo album/slide show now has a photo preloader and supports any size photo. Like the previous version user places unlimited number of JPEGs inside a photos folder and configs the Flash movie via an XML file.

Flash Photo Album v1.0

First cut of a Flash MX 2004 photo album/slide show loosely based on the photo album template that comes with Flash but is dynamic. User can place unlimited number of pix inside a photos folder along with an album.xml in the album's root, application imports the photos and XML file real-time.

This version limits photo dimensions to 640x480 but I do plan to change this in the next release. Note: Flash cannot read progressive JPEGs dynamically.

Flash Jigsaw Puzzle v1.0

Converted an old jigsaw puzzle from Flash 4.0 to Flash MX 2004 using a multidimensional array to store puzzle pieces.

I also experimented with the little-known swapDepths method to control stacking order (depth) on both buttons and movie clips.

Tatau Artist Flash Game v1.0

A slight twist on the drag and drop "dress up" style game using tattoos instead of clothing.

In case you are wondering, tatau is the Tahitian word for "mark" from where we get our present day word tattoo.
