So, the IE thing where the user has to “click to activate” any Flash (or other active media) file in a page is quite obnoxious. Thankfully, Adobe has already addressed the issue in the form of updates to Dreamweaver and Flash. Be sure to grab the updates for each product and start publishing your content accordingly.

In trying to come up with thoughts for a tutorial, I started playing around with the
 Drag Slide Fade 2.0 Class Library and this is what I ended up with.

 

I don’t know if it’s suitable material for a tutorial, but the DSF Library sure is fun to play with. If you want to check it out for yourself, you’re going to need to pop on over to Brendan Dawes download area and all of the relevant AS files in one nice zip file.

Here’s another sample of doing the same idea of scripted animation, only this one uses Flash’s built in Tween Class.
