Alpha fade-in menu - This example shows how you can fade in menus on buttons - good for utilizing space in your flash document with a potentially interesting effect.

Alpha tweening - This example shows a simple A.S. alpha tweening effect, using only code to build. Provides ideas on how to use alpha and some line drawing technique.

Button toggle colour - This example gives an idea of how to toggle the colour of a button - each successive click changes the colour of the button between 2 colours.

Rotation coin - This example doesn't use much A.S.,but shows how the alpha settings of a clip can be used to show successive mcs.Hopefully some ideas..

A.S square - This example shows how to draw a square at runtime using action script.

Random coloured squares - This example shows how to generate random squares and colours using action script. It utlizes arrays and drawing techniques in action script.

Starscape - This example shows how to create stars with action-script, place them randomly, and make them 'twinkle'. 3 frames of code.

MovieClip Loader - This example shows how to use the movieclip loader class to load a clip.

Mouse Down and Mouse Up - This example shows how the mousedown and mouseup functions work, using a trace.

Loading images into textfields - This example show 3 ways of loading images into a text field, left align, right align and bottom align.

Building 3D objects - This example gives several variable options for changing the shape, orientation and rotation of 3D objects built with action script

A speedometer - this example shows how to build a speedometer, and to set the intervals so that you can operate it using either arrow keys or filling a text field value.

Image fade in fade out effect - This example shows how to loop 3 images in a fade in-fade out effect over one another onto the stage. A good effect for displaying images in limited space.

Drag movieclip into another movieclip - This example shows how to simulate a movie clip being dragged intoanother. Possible uses - dragging an mc into a window.

Sphere rotating - This example is action scripted creation of a sphere using layers of circles to build a sphere.

Slider Control - This is a slider control made using action script. This example does volume for an mp3, but it can be used for any application requiring incremented measures.

News Reader - This shows how to 'type' text into a field at run time. It uses a text file for the text, and loops over however many lines you enter, reading one 'line' at a time.

Lines and curves - dynamically created random lines and curves - perhaps a good starter for a basic screensaver.

Insert Shapes - This FLA demonstrates how to add shapes to an swf using action script and the drawing API. It utilises trigonometry and is built into a reusable function.

Make Shapes - Same basic premise as the above FLA, but instead of creating the shapes to be added it draws them to stage as you watch.

Drawing Ovals - I don't like the oblong oval examples that seem most prevalent on the web-this one works with proper parabolic curves all around (and the method is very simple)

Creating Dynamic Shapes Part 1 - This FLA demonstrates how subtle manipulation of x and y values with sin and cos can create some very interesting patterns.

Dynamic Shapes Part 2 - This fla demonstrates the spiral method using trigonometry.

Dynamic Shapes Part 3 - This fla demonstrates working the spiral method into shapes and fills.

3D motion with balls - This FLA shows how to move objects across the x, y and z axes.

Draggable Corners - This FLA show how to create a dynamic square with draggable corners.

Extension of draggable corners - Allows you to draw the square first, and then drag the corners
