Reliving my days as a Flasher

Last week I was able to spend several days (and the whole weekend) working on a Flash / Actionscript 3.0 prototype to demonstrate some UX and system behavior concepts at work.

It reminded me how much I enjoy coding (when it's not every day) and how much, in particular, I enjoy working in Flash and Actionscript. Sure - there are all the little quirks and annoyances that come with the package, weird legacy behaviors in the Flash player, a so-so debugging environment, lack of a great IDE... but what makes that all seem tiny is the instant gratification factor. Something which is greatly missing from my usual day-to-day work.

So - in memory of that brief window of fun... here are a few of my favorite flash bookmarks from delicious.
