Source Code: Image gOOifier
A while back I posted my gOOify Mike Chambers experiment, which let you distort an image by pushing the pixels around with your cursor – similar to Kai Powergoo or Photoshop’s liquify command.

It’s still a little rough around the edges, and it’s nowhere near as nice as working in FlexBuilder2, but it works! You can download it here…
Source Code: Tracing ARGB (32 Bit) Hex Values
Many of the new features in Flash 8 use ARGB color values. Unfortunately, debugging can be tricky because Flash’s built in Number.toString(16) method treats all numbers as signed integers. This can result in some unexpected results when tracing an ARGB value… To work around this, you need to split the number into smaller pieces, then concatenate them as strings…
