The joy of Flash

I'm not usually in the business of just passing on memes, but I just found this one utterly irresisble (not to mention really cute).

This is the kind of thing that's rather passed me by until recently. The last thing I knew, Flash was just another irritating plugin that sometimes stopped misguided corporate websites from rendering properly. Then people started using it to create short comic animations (badger badger badger). But now, people (and the Japanese and Koreans seem to be pushing the envelope here) are using it to create nifty little cartoon shorts like the one mentioned above and even things like puzzles. Ain't science something?

If I may speak as an ex-Flash-geek, that is *exactly* what it is supposed to be used for, not making band-width-hogging corporate brochures. It has all the structural hallmarks of an animation tool and is an absolutely spiffing vector graphics program. The whole introduction of interactivity is the logical end result of the use of scripting tool in various sorts of animation programs over the years.

And hi, Gabe has been pimping yer feed on livejournal and I'm nosy :>
