Fuzzy Text Transition Effects in AS3 Flash CS5

We present three new text transition effects. Text becomes broken and fuzzy, then collapses back to form a new line. Simple variation of parameters produces many different effects. The effects are created by drawing text to a bitmap, then using the copyPixels() method of the BitmapData class along with some randomization to redraw small rectangles of the bitmaps in a cleverly transitioning way. This technique can easily be applied to images. Source code available for download.

AIR for Android Rolling Cubes 3D Puzzle - Source Code

A new 3D rendition of the classic Rolling Cubes puzzle. The puzzle is very challenging and takes a minimum of 36 moves to solve. A 'move' consists of rolling a 3D cube to the only empty space on a grid. Initially all cubes have their black sides facing up. The goal is to invert them so their red sides face up. We provide several simpler versions as a 'warm-up' for the main puzzle. The post contains complete source code, including a Flash CS5 file and custom AS3 classes.

Cool Text Transitions in AS3 Flash CS5

A cool effect of a transition from one piece of text to another. Text becomes distorted and blurred before transitioning back to a new line of text. The effect makes use of a DisplacementMapFilter (with a perlinNoise source) and a BlurFilter, along with a Tween to control the transition. We present monochrome, colorized, and low CPU versions of the effect. Several parameters allow easy customization and experimentation. Full source code is available for download.

RGB Sinks and Springs - Interactive Particle Effect in AS3 Flash

A new fun particle effect: RGB sinks and springs. Motion of bitmap particles is determined by their RGB components and their proximity to color 'sinks'. Each red, green and blue sink flies by itself or can be dragged by hand. It attracts and repels particles based on their color components. Invisible 'springs' pull the particles back to their original positions. You can experiment with 'sinks' and 'springs' settings and create a multitude of dynamic particle effects.
