Flash developers at Warwick?

I’ve been playing around with Flash for a couple of months now, replacing Java as my primary platform for game development, and I’m curious if there are any other students here who work in Flash. I’d be interested to see what other people have produced.

Among programmers I’ve spoken to there seems to be some misconceptions about what Flash development entails. The latest version of Flash allows various way to approach development, and is just as friendly to programmers as to artists and animators. I’m using Flex Builder Pro, an Eclipse-based IDE which allows entirely code-based Flash development (it’s also free to students).

    At the games company where I work flash is used (in its open source incarnation) to create our user interface, which is used on the 360, PS3 and PC. It seems to be a collaborative effort between programmers, artists and designers; which as you say flash appears to encourage. Its also telling that this part of the project appears to be the furthest along despite limited resources.
