Paint By Numbers - Dynamic color manipulation in Actionscript and Flash

Here is another fun bit that I wrote several years ago in Flash 5 and Actionscript 1.0. We've all seen the old Paint By Numbers pictures that we used to get as kids. I decided to try to replicate the idea in Flash.

The thing that makes this more interesting than most of the Paint By Numbers pages on the net is that you can mix your paint colors, creating basically any color that you wish.

Galaxy Game - A fun game writtten in Flash 5 and Actionscript 1.0

This is a fun little "game" that I wrote mostly on an airplane on my way to a Flash Forward convention in San Francisco back in 2001.

There is no goal to this game but it can be fun to play with for a bit. It allows you to grab planets that are in orbit around the sun and throw them into a different orbit. And you can add more planets and watch them collide.
