I will update my Flash Experiment page later and add the fla links too since I sometimes receive request for the sources 
(but I still do not have time to edit the page 
)
If there are any particular fla that you guys are interested in, you may post a comment here and I will post the link here.
Hope this will be helpful .
flowers are randomly generated with different patterns and petals. They are grown in the lawn and form some text

So this time the string you search will be highlighted by 2 filters. The boundary of the string is found by TextField.getCharBoundaries and then a GlowFilter and a DropShadowFilter are applied to the corresponding bitmap. I am sure there are more possible effects.
here’s the example

After visiting Maso’s website on ASCII image generated by AS3, I also try to make one myself for fun. First convert a pic into grayscale, then match the converted pixels with some characters and output the result.
It’s fun to play with but the effect is, of course, affected by many factors e.g. font size, original image dimension, etc. However, I would say this is a good exercise for practising AS (maybe I can include that in a tutorial later?)

You can see the original image, the grayscale image, and the output ‘image’.

I have copy out the output ’image’ and make it into a html.
Combine the new computeSpectrum of the SoundMixer class with some water ripple effect

Turn on your speaker. The larger the value computeSpectrum returns, the more the ripples e.g. when the song goes silent, there will be less ripples.

Update: Download the source here. Let me know if you still encounter any errors

use mouse to “draw” some special effects.

just convert some old stuff to AS3

the control of depth of movieclip is so different from the previous AS now. if you have only 10 MC in a container, then there will only be 10 depths (0-9) or else out of bound error will jump out. there are also no more swapdepths, of coz, and we need to use sth like addChildAt, getChildIndex, etc.
Yes I’ve been playing with lots of method to create fire….that’s quite real and simple to made with perlinNose + DisplacementMap filter. There’s lots of parameters to play with, and I’m certain that this can have many variations and applications
