This is just beautiful. I love it! I think the link to the Moby tune may be bad or something...I'm getting an error. Great stuff. I'm starting to experiment with particles now (I guess everyone's doing it). I just stopped by to check my CPU usage on this animation of yours to see if it was as heavy as some of the things I'm doing. Yep! But I think you know how to optimize better than I do...I'm working on it! Flower Twist RGB Sinks and Springs

Nice job! It’s nice to see such “outside-the-box” creativity being done with AS. Scripting with Flash is now just as much an art as it is a science as you have demonstrated with this experiment.

I have seen that error at times. I wrote a complete MP3 player in flex/as3

No problems in Firefox here. As for the experiment, I think I might just have to think about changing careers after seeing that.

Great piece of work Keith.

Fascinating. I want more!

It doesn’t crash on my Firefox, I’m using v1.5.0.6 on winxp sp2, maybe it’s a Flash for Macs bug, I’ve seen one that crashes Firefox on a Mac before (the guy that found it out told me it could be something about protected memory)

Nice. No error here, running FF 1.5.0.5, with player 9,0,16,0.

Yeah. I’ve noticed that on Firefox too. Gotta figure out what causes that.

For now, no source. Sorry.

keith,

your swf does strange things to firefox on windows… when i close the new window, i see the following error:

Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error.
at GhostOnTheLake/::setupSound()
at GhostOnTheLake/::init()
at GhostOnTheLake$iinit()

when i dismiss or continue firefox crashes. i wonder if this could be exploited…
