Carlos Ulloa and Flash Magic

I know there are a lot of Flash haters out there. Sometimes, admittedly, I'm one of them. Especially when I want to do some 3D renders and the like (specifically on one of my latest projects, in which we were unable to render it the way i wanted to. luckily the developer had a few tricks up his sleeve).

This post, however, is not about M's tricks, but of Carlos Ulloa's. The man has taken flash, chewed on it, and spit out some really nice work. Go ahead, take a drive of your own.

one of the discussion points for my new site is the "contact" page. do i include an email form? or just offer up my contact info and hope?

since i had a little break today (even though i have way too much to do i still managed to find myself in a holding pattern for each of my projects) i found and followed this tutorial on creating email forms in flash. of course, i wasn't interested in creating one that looked exactly like the one in the tutorial, so i managed to figure out how to create the look i wanted by sifting through a couple of other websites and forums.

the result? it worked! amazing! i still don't understand why it only works on "test movie" and not "publish preview," but i'm not going to search for that answer right now. i'm happy enough with my new knowledge of input fields.
