I wanted to try a fairly new site called WonderFL.net which is a site that allows you to compile your ActionScript 3.0 code online and on the fly.
Here is my latest experiment.

Plans...
I'm thinking of creating a few small components in ActionScript3 to sell on those component sites like FlashDen.net and FlashComponents.net
I wouldn't really be doing it for the money it could make me (10oz would be getting the money anyways), but for the experience and the recognition such things get you.
My other thought, and this really is just for me, is to make a short video tutorial series on getting started with ActionScript 3 and how to avoid programming like an idiot (or a designer). I imagine each video being about 20-30 minutes long and looking similar to the videos at GotoAndLearn.com
If anyone has any ideas or comments on this stuff, let me know. Also, if you have a cool idea for a flash experiment, I would love to hear it. I've even enabled comments on this post just for YOU!

Water Effect in ActionScript 3
Today I took yesterday's experiment a step farther. The above Flash movie loads an image (given in the query string) and applies the ripple effect as both an additive layer (for brightness) and a displacement filter giving us a nice watery looking effect.

Ripple Effect in ActionScript 3
Click square to change color
The above Flash Movie is only 2KBs and is easily adjustable to any size or resolution (although I can't guarantee performance at large sizes).
This experiment was something I did on the spur of the moment today because I thought it would be an interesting challenge. It uses a grid of points with amplitudes and creates ripples in the grid. Then I draw the grid to a Bitmap object.
All of this was done with my own custom code with no external libraries other then the default ones in Flash.

Phillips Seafood Company Timeline
Working with NetPlus Marketing I created a flash timeline/gallery that is powered by XML.
For this project I was given a PhotoShop PSD with layers and was told how the gallery should work. Over some quick iterations we finished this project and got it on the client's site on a tight deadline (the new site is not yet live as of this posting).
