I was just messing around with some transparent PNG images of coke cans trying to make a cool product viewer of some sort and this is what I came up with. You could add tooltips to make a proper product viewer but I’m thinking of some kind of click a product and more information is shown for that product scenario, maybe have the products moving somehow..
I created another little experiment with the same setup. This time a mouse proximity detection which blurs the button. The farther away from a button the mouse cursor is, the more blurred it will be. Bring the mouse to the center of the button and it will become clear without any blur. Also think this will work nicely into a creative menu. I may combine this one with the Auto Drag and Snap one to make one cool menu for FlashDen. 
These cynical, but beautiful Valentine’s Day icons were made by Eugen Buzuk at IconDrawer.com.
I made a little experiment, which would be well used in a menu. It could be a cool effect for a icon-like menu. For each button, on mouse over, the buttons snap to your mouse position - or close to it - and then follow your mouse, but the further your mouse differs from the original position, the more the button lags behind. On mouse out of the button, the button snaps back to the original position in a elastic transition.
I thought of this idea with a 3D kind of layout for picking images or even have site sections in each of these slides. It’s not enabled to shift slides, but you could do this with shifting the depths and so forth. You could probably also achieve this if not better with new CS4’s 3D capabilities. Maybe I will do an extended version of this in the future.
Today someone showed me a very cool site, ThisIsSand.com - once I saw this, it reminded me of an old particle experiment I did with AS2. I converted into AS3 and played around a bit more. Click and hold to spray; use the arrow keys to adjust the pressure and spread of the particle spray. I’m still trying to figure out how to make the sand pile up on top of each other..
I recently asked someone close to me if they had a gallery for their work, what kind of website they would want. She said she would want a gallery where the user could compare two images at once; look at them both at the same time to compare them. I was interested and wondered how a website or application like this should be made. So I ended up creating a duo-image gallery with a drag and drop feature to view the images. Please click the preview image below to see it. My own photographs were used in this experiment.
As promised, a new update of the pixel art drawing application is posted up here. It now has a color picker, a grid to toggle on and off, a scalable drawing area, and a clear all button. You can create some pretty nice pixel art and pixel fonts. I still plan to develop this a lot further. Please comment on any suggestions you might have and I would love to see anything you create using this. Please feel free to mess around with it below, take a screenshot of what you made, and send it to my email (please email me first through my website).
Another experiment; pretty simple and basic at this stage, but I plan to implement many more features to create a kind of pixel art drawing application. I think it could be really fun, so come back some time to see more versions/updates on this!
This is also an old one, done in AS2. There’s nothing that special about it, except maybe the curveTo method of getting the mouse wire to follow with the mouse like that. But like I said, not that special, I just find it really creative and amusing. 
Now this is an old one - done way back in the day of AS2. 
What is it and why did I do it? I think every great flasher has spent some time, or should!, on John’s (of RED Interactive) Self Titled portfolio site. It’s incredible and I kept wondering how that circular menu was possible.. So I started to mess around in Flash with circles, trigonometry, lineTo, etc. So here’s the little copycat version of the grand master’s design.
