ActionScript Scraps

This is a fun ‘Flip’ Clock that is counting down the days until Xmas.
It is AS3.0 and chooses images randomly from a large set.

It came together quickly and I’m happy with the end result.

Transcribing music from recordings can be difficult as I like to pause and replay segments over and over until I know exactly what is being played. This is not a feature of iTunes so I decided to build my own Mp3 player using Flex to make my life easier.

This player loads an Mp3, displays ID3 [...]

If you have a webcam you can download my marker image, then [...]
