Amazing Dynamic Flash Movies

At times like these I wish i wasn’t a complete moron as far as programming is concerned: these flash applications from Berlin-based developer Andre-Michele are just incredible – the premise of it is that each pixel in the bitmap becomes a seperate particle in a system that is influenced by how the mouse interacts with it. Just click and drag on the logo:

There’s plenty of other amazing stuff on this guy’s site, like physics engines and even a flash based sequencer – go waste hours of your life playing with it here, completely ruining any mystique that that lovely Fridge song ‘Cut Up Piano and Xylophone’ (stream it from here) might have had in the process (i don’t seem to be able to embed that specific application on this site).

As a footnote, i’m getting quite interested in learning some of the more dynamic aspects of Flash, but as i said i am a complete pleb as far as any code or programming is concerned, so if anyone knows of any good resources along the lines of ‘ActionScript For Complete Dummies’, i would be most grateful.

Thanks to Nico van der Watt for the link.
