Hi folks.

I just took a look at the submissions so far, and while I imagine that a lot of hard work has gone into these, I know there are people out there who can beat these submissions.

Have a bit of spare time? Want a free plasma TV? Rules and regulations here.

[The explode effect has been updated for the beta 3 version of the player. You can find the code here. –Sho, May 11, 2006]

The explode effect overlays a copy of an object over the object itself and zooms it larger as it fades. It’s simple enough to take you through it line by line, but it’s complex enough that I think it’s instructive. I know that when I first wrote it, it helped me understand more about how bitmaps, popups, and effects work.

NOTE: Requires Flash Player 8.5 beta 2.
