Here's where I store my various Fireworks/ Flash bits and bobs.

That Ball Game << Link

This is a surprisingly successful experiment from back when I was trying to 
learn Action Script 2.0. I think i did a reasonable job of hashing together various snippets, and even came up with some of my own stuff.

The idea is that in each level you would start with a ball in a square. You could drag the ball around anywhere within that square, and you had to throw the ball from that square to a goal block, which would be placed round some suitably challenging. This is just a prototype, and as you can see a lot of things don't work.

I had planned to include more special tiles- I managed to get sticky and bouncy tiles working. There were also going to be lots of themes, each with different dynamics like wind, low/high gravity etc. I hit a dead end with triangular/ corner tiles, and I decided my game would be really limited without them. I think there were some really simple bits of code that I needed to use but I just couldn't work it out. If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it.
