This SWF was made using the Box2DFlashAS3 2D Physics Engine in a Flash CS4 project. Photoshop was used to create the 3D pool balls which spell out "IT Brigade Inc".  Really easy to use and provides very realistic animations.

Here's a link to Box2DFlashAS3...

Just bought the CS4 Web Premium package - primarily for Flash and the full version of Photoshop.  Also has Dreamweaver.

Animated Dog - Implemented in Flash CS4 using Action Script 3.  Each piece of the image is a movieclip which reacts to Mouse click events.  Used photoshop to separate the image into the pieces.

Click on his head for him to beg.

Click on his body for him to bark.

I had problems with the rotation of the head image - for some reason when you use a bitmap image and try to change the rotation of the sprite from 0, it immediately flips the image to 180.  It does not do this for a vector image.  Ended up changing the starting angle to 0.1 or -0.1 and it worked fine.

This is a Flash animation created in Adobe Flash CS4 primarily via ActionScript 3.0.  Each part of the fish is a movie clip with an associated AS3 class.

Click on animation to give it focus.  Then move the fish using the arrow keys.  Click on the fish to release bubbles.

Notice the fin and tail movements which are simulated by different techniques.  Also note that the fish is watching you.
