Flash 8 tutorial
There is a new Flash 8 (Maelstrom) tutorial, now uploaded to the tutorials section of this website.

It is, as yet unchecked (the best time to write a tutorial is perhaps not at 4-6am in the morning, when you've been up all night with chronic ear ache, and consumed a heady mixture of red wine and Ibuprofen to help dull the pain ... but still! Hopefully it will be coherent).

It includes links to the source code from both the filters and bitmap-scrambling example flas (see post below).

Also, keep an eye on that particular post, as I hope to add additional links to it in the near future.

Night/Morning,
Neil

Flash 8
The Flash 8 beta player was released a short while ago.
Here, have some F8 stuff!(more to follow)

Copy and paste, straight from bitmap!
scramble bitmap data

Oh no, not a mouse trailer! Yes, but using bitmap screenshots, bitmap caching and blur filters (may still not look too good on slower machines)
