Flash Experiments

These are generated almost entirely in ActionScript.  The time line is not used in any of these examples.  In each example objects makes their own decisions about direction, speed and appearance independent of any other objects on the screen.

Squares

Each object starts from a random location along the side of the screen. The matched colors and chords are randomly chosen from a pre-existing list. This example involves audio.

Stacked Chords

Twelve objects are created at the center of the screen. For every frame each object decides which way it will alter its course and by how much. This gives a smoother less random feel to the motion.  When all objects have left the screen, another twelve are created.

Random Particles

Each object decides which way it will move in a given moment and new objects are added continuously creating a fluid effect. As the mouse rolls over the objects, they come into clearer focus and change the overall effect of the animation.

3D Perspective

Objects are added to a three dimensional matrix that allows the viewer to move though and around them. Each object can hold any MovieClip and controls its apparent position and size.

3D Video Player

This is an example of the above in practice to create a video player.
