We at Flektor just launched MyDebates.Org, the official online outlet of the 2008 presidential debates, courtesy of MySpace and the Commission on Presidential Debates.
I'm very proud to have been involved with this project, as it is sort of a historical milestone in the online presence of politics, as well as in the magnitude of the actual impact this presence can potentially have on the process and the outcome itself.

This little class is sort of an offshoot of something I did for a professional project I'm working on.
Since it's completely bare-bones and targets the essentials (it's only 2 triangles and a texture) I think it's very useful for understanding the basics, that's why I decided to make it available.
I'm well aware that there are pretty robust and comprehensive solutions out there dealing with bitmap distortion - not to mention that with Flash 10 this issue is going to be completely trivialized - but the point here is simplicity.

Well this isn't exactly Flash-related, but close enough.

It's completely free, so just download it and enjoy.

I have been working on a small pinball-game recently, and this demo is sort of a byproduct of that.
It's using the excellent APE (Actionscript Physics Engine) and it's interactive: the magnitude of the force as well as the shadows both are linked to the distance between the pointer and the largest ball-object. Go on, play around with it for a while.

Recently I was working on iPhone-specific web-based login pages, and for the sake of consistency I wanted to mimic the rounded-corner look of the iPhone interface.
I looked around for solutions, but everything I could find either used images, Javascript or both, which seemed like serious overkill for this purpose.
