Flanture

For a long time I wasn’t so much excited about some new Flash stock file as I am about this new fun Flash game Clever Frog. This is only the first portfolio item for author NE555, but really amazing one. Game opens with Flash8+ and it’s written in ActionScript 2.0. Game is only 47 Kb in size and contains 24 levels.

You can preview and play it online too. Here is how to play: “Click on a lotus leaf to make the frog jump to the leaf”. The previous leaf will then disappear. Continue jumping one by one until there are no leaves remaining to win that level. Frog cannot jump backwards or diagonal. It can only jump left, right and forwards”. Frog can also make small and big jumps.

Enjoy playing!

Winter is coming, at least to North hemisphere, thus once again everything related with winter, snow, snowflakes, Christmas and Santa will be in the focus. Bloggers like to have seasonal banners and animations on their blogs.

This is the reason why you should take a look at Hayleme’s AS3 / AS2 Falling Snow Effect Animation as a good choice to enhance your blog or even as a greetings e-card solution.

If you want to try and create your own animation you can find many helpful tutorials online, starting with Simple way to create vector snowflakes and when you’ve done with it, try to animate them using Flash Rain Effect and Flash Blurred Bubbles Effect.

Very often in data visualization projects one needs different types of maps, whether it is World map, Europe or USA. You can create it from ground up or use already existing cheap stock solution.

This USA XML Interactive map (only $5) is the best one I could find out there. Check it out and test it for yourself, live example is available.

Author is Art101 and his entire portfolio is excellent.

The simple sound controller plays the songs in a playlist read from the xml file in order or shuffled according to the settings

It was was designed to be used embedded in html or standalone. It is highly customizable directly from the xml with quite a few options for such a simple file. Easy to use and a very good choice if you want to add a simple and easy to use music controller to your project.

The following options can be changed in the XML config file:
- all colors (text normal color, mouseover color, bars gradient colors)
- start paused on/off (if you want the player to start playing or paused)
- start buffering on/off (if you want the player to start buffering the first song even if it’s set to paused)
- playback volume
- shuffle (random) on/off (this also includes the first track)
- location for an unlimited number of songs in the playlist

Photoshop Design .psd file is also included along with all Flash sources.
