Just like old times
I haven’t done one of these in years.
My employer’s website needed some sprucing up, so he asked me to put together a simple promotional animation for the home page. It had been a long time since I designed one of these, but I did it, and you can see it at rothburysoftware.com.
Surprisingly, it was fun - so much fun, in fact, that I’m thinking about making one for my own site. So, what do you think? What sort of elements would be appropriate in a Flash animation on a Flex developer’s site?
Credits:
I did not create the icons used in the animation, so let me give credit where credit is due.
- The globe is by MazeNL77
- The mobile device icon is by Everaldo
- The flat-panel monitor is from Vikiworks
Similarly, I did not create the Camaro graphic used on this post. I got it from cemagraphics

I think I’d do something like the PIXAR light animation. And either have something show how flexible it was, or flex it’s muscles. *lol*
But I am not quite sure how I’d start with that… *lol* Maybe keep the whole toolshed look, use a hammer, maybe a bouncing nail called problem.
Hah! Very cool. I knew I could count on you for some ideas. I particularly like the bouncing nail called “Problem”. We can have some bugs crawling around as well (not uncommon in a toolshed or workshop). We can spray them with cans of “FlexUnit”, “Flex Debugger”, “Flex Profiler”, etc., and whenever we can’t kill one, we’ll name it “Feature”.
