Get your hands on the new Street Fighter 2 widget. You can grab the widget code and embed it on your website, or even your myspace or facebook profile. This flash remake of the game is a very accurate copy of the arcade original featuring all the characters and bonus levels. If you just want to play the game on a website please follow this link:
A simple 5 page site built for music composition, sound design and music searches company 'little bits of mischief'. The site is built in php / XHTML and features Flash audio and video players. It's always a pleasure for me to build simple, classic designed sites. I particularly like the red, white, blue colour scheme in this design.

I have been working on a couple of Flash games recently for my new arcade site zapgamez.com. The first of these games is Zombie Killer Gorefest 3, which is now previewing on Zap Gamez. You can play the game here:
http://www.zapgamez.com/games/action/zombie-killer-gorefest-3
The official release text for the game is as follows:
Currently exclusive to ZapGamez.com, Zombie Killer Gorefest 3 is a point and click shoot 'em up where you have to defeat the zombie hordes in 3 chilling action-packed levels. Inspired by 70's and 80's Horror and B-Movie genres, this game includes it's fair share of blood and gore, so is therefore not appropriate for younger players.
I created the game in actionscript 2, possibly one of my last as2 projects before I move over to as3 fully. The graphics and animation are a more prominent part of the game than the scripted aspects which are fairly basic hitTest functions.
The game will probably stay exclusive to Zap for the next couple of weeks before I release it through MochiAds distribution. If you are interested in getting the game for your site when it is released please subscribe to my RSS feed and I will announce the release here on my blog in the near future.
This is a basic flash tutorial which explains how to apply an animated shine effect to a logo or image, as displayed in the example. This technique only really works well with colour logos.
You will need Flash 8 or above, as the effect utilises the filters which were a new addition in version 8. The source file for this project is available for download at the bottom of the tutorial.

Hi!
I’ve been searching for such a tutorial for a long time!thank you!!
I just wanted to ask if it’s possible to activate the effect on rollover with actionscript, it would be for a website!
thank you very much,
Valentina
Hi Valentina
You could attach the effect to a button or movie clip rollover. You could attatch it to the rollover state of a button without any actionscript. You could also activate the rollover effect in as2 using the following method:
1. Select the shine (Symbol 3) movieclip and give it the instance name ’shine’
2. Add this action to frame 1 of the ’shine’ movie clip:
stop();
3. Create a button. you could make it transparent by setting it’s alpha to 0.
4. Add this action to the button:
on (rollOver) {
shine.play();
}
I hope this helps.

Hi Sam and thank you very much for your infos. I am a newbie of flash and actionscript so I always need every step to be clear like in your tutorial to do it 
Could u help me out with a sample flash file?you could send it to my email if that’s not a problem for you.
I would really like to understand both ways to make such a rollover button, love your tutorial!
thank you very much,

I have created an animated logo in flash for the Budokon UK holding page. Using their existing logo I added a shine effect that moves accross the logo every couple of seconds. The fade-in on the logo is done using a combination of the blur filter and an alpha fade, based on the martial arts philosophy of focus leading to clarity!

Please how do I just rotate a simple circle in flash on mouse over and stop on mouse away.
Hi Lynette
I don’t see how this question relates to this article, but:
1. Draw a circle
2. Convert your circle to a button
3. Create a keyframe on the over state of the button
4.select the circle in the over keyframe and covert it to a movie clip.
5. edit the movie clip to include a motion tween
6. on the first frame of the motion tween edit the frames properties - setting rotation to either clock-wise or counter clock-wise
