Flash stars form rock supergroup!
Don’t you hate it when Flash speakers act as though they’re rock stars? After show parties, crowds of fans, and not to mention the inflated egos.

Regular subscribers of my blog will realise that I very rarely post about anything non-Flash related! I’m not sure if this is a good thing or not… well you decide 🙂 But I realise I’m a bit behind on posts, I have at least 2 posts that are VERY delayed (superCacheAsBitmap for one – and […]
Just a quick post to show off one of the new effects that was in my recent FlashBelt session on particles.
