I was digging through some of my bookmarks and ran across a great example on a tray-style resizer done in javascript:

I liked the effect so I thought I’d give an AS2 version of it a shot. If you all have seen anything else like this done in Flash please post a comment on this post. I really like the style. This is not perfect but I think it turned out ok for an initial stab:

You may have seen version one of the Lightbox awhile back. Version 2 is an amazing JS script that will display pictures in a very to use manner. I have seen this done many times in Flash but the javascript version is intriguing as it floats over HTML content on the page. Take a look over at huddletogether.com. The animation effect really adds a lot while still having a “light-weight” feel to it.

Not sure how often you all would use. I wrote this for myself for use on a project I was doing. I had a bunch of squares that needed individual instance names. All of the instances had the same suffix though (mySquare0_1, mySquare1_1, mySquare2_1…). Most of the time you could create the squares dynamically and give them an instance name on the fly. In this case I wanted to visually position them in the IDE so I came up with a quick and easy way to add and remove a suffix from a movieclip’s instance name (in this case the “_1″).

Windows users can copy them into your:
“boot drive\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\ Flash 8\language\Configuration\” folder

Mac users into:
“Macintosh HD/Users/userName/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/Flash 8/language/Configuration/”

The commands will be accessible in Flash under the Commands menu at the top.
