Hey!
Me back again, with some cool information.. A couple of hours after I put that post there, I was going browsing the net.. Somewhere my instincts said, try method.com. I really didnt know that there existed a site like that, and now, I got to know the stunning thing … The cool programmers being both the HP thing and the Macromedia page video effect are the same!! Its both done by people at method Inc.
And then I remembered a Quote from a Levis Ad. “Is this coincidence??”

Cheers!!
Long live actionscript.. Long live Flash !!
and Long live Method Inc!!!

Thanks very much for this Guide — I’ve ended up forwarding a number of the links to people that I think should view them for ideas/brainstorming.

Splendid examples!

I found this Guide extremely helpful, and will probably revisit it at some point. It expanded my own sense of what is possible.

Hey Macc,

Dont know what to say :-) Saw the flash template on Templatemonster and wanted to buy it just right before I saw your post here. Better to give the money to you instead of templatemonster.
Thanks for your post !

Cheers,
Heiko
