You load an external SWF file at runtime using Loader.load() method. You extract the file via
Loader.content, cast it to MovieClip, and store in a MovieClip variable.
You add a listener to mouse clicks to your loaded MovieClip only to discover
that it does not respond to clicks. Isn't Loader.content in the case of loading an SWF file
a MovieClip? We discuss the issue and give examples. Flash and AS3 source files included.

New to Flash Player 10 method graphics.drawPath() speeds up runtime drawing
when multiple calls to lineTo() and moveTo() are required. Its behavior
when drawing semi-transparent lines is not ideal, though. Intersections
of transparent lines appear flattened, without the effect of transparent objects
overlapping. With moveTo and lineTo there is a way of preventing such behavior and
obtaining correct intersections.

Check out our new 3D particle effect: the spectacular Kepler's
Supernova. We animate 17,000 pixel particles put

In this tutorial we show how to use two important methods of the BitmapData class,
perlinNoise and ColorMatrixFilter. By combining the two, we obtain a realistic
dynamic cloud effect. The color schemes of the sky and the clouds can easily be changed.

Enjoy a spectacular particle storm! In this experiment
we use a bitmap filled with Perlin noise to create
an acceleration field. The field controls the motion of thousands
of particles creating a turbulent, dramatic effect.
We use filters and color transforms to obtain the effect
of fading trails behind the churning particles.
