While browsing the cool new FWA website, I found some interesting ecommerce websites. I especially focused on the Flash shopping carts and I found some pretty inspiring examples  I think you should check out.

You bump into them all the time when purchasing online and there are some complicated shopping carts that give you a hard time. A shopping cart should be simple and self-explanatory when it comes to the obvious steps to purchase an item. The  Flash examples I’ve chosen to showcase today are not only extremely creative, but also user friendly.

In my opinion, this Flash shopping cart does the trick. You can READ MORE »

It’s been a while since we presented our last Flash Catwalk but lately examples have started to pile up. The example I chose to showcase today is a website where the beautiful Great White Template was used.

The Rotunda is an elegant banquet facility in south eastern Wisconsin. Eric chose Jjletho’s Flash template to present this historic place using the cool features of the template while taking advantage of the attractive price.

I purchased the Great White Template and I have to say this is a fantastic template. I’ve tried many others for much  more $$$, and this by far is the best I’ve seen.

What better name for a developer that is both creative and practical than Kcreation? This author has been selling Flash components on our website for a while now and, even though he doesn’t have a vast portfolio, the few files he’s got definitely made the trick. Hopefully, this post will encourage him to share more of his creative files on FlashComponents.net.

One of the files that got my attention is Slider Accordion Menu /Media Viewer. We’ve got other accordion menus on the website, but what makes this one special is the fact that you can use modules with enhanced content.

This modules include the complete set of: text, video, slideshows, photo blocks, photo scroller and a world map.

I recommend you also take a look at his Vertical Slider Menu/Info Viewer, which I bet you’re going to like. For other creative files from Kcreation, check out his portfolio here.

Today all of us at FC enjoyed reading the February issue of Adobe Edge newsletter. I especially liked “The Edge of Flash” article, where Rob Ford, the founder of the Favourite Website Awards, showcased some of the best Flash websites promoted on the FWA website.

Here are some of the amazing websites he presented:

The Bio Agency

You can read the whole article here, although I recommend you go through all the articles from this issue of the Adobe Edge newsletter to find out more about the insights revealed by Adobe on Flash® Player 10.1 and other exciting news. Enjoy!

Lately, Flash galleries are used more and more to showcase products in a dynamic and engaging way. What excites me are the stunning forms that these Flash galleries take: 3D carousels, cover flows, horizontal or vertical galleries, and so on.

Some of them take it a bit too far, making the visitors confused as to where he should start browsing. Others just hit the spot with galleries that are easy to navigate through and with cool designs. This showcase includes the best 15 Flash galleries out there, that definitely make you want to come back.

With everybody talking and taking a stand in this crazy Flash vs HTML5 “mortal kombat”, I focused on reminding myself why I love Flash and why I strongly agree with Chris Black’s point of view that “Flash is here to stay!”.

I might just be another Flash nerd, but I’m just stating that even though I love flashy websites and would include #flash in most every post on Twitter ( ), I don’t think this should be a war of winners vs looser.  It should be about admiring and respecting a stunning work such as this one:

The Wrangler Blue Bell website is, by far, one of the best uses of Flash I’ve seen, and a more reason to say Flash rules!

If you don’t agree (or if you do), drop me a comment and maybe you’ll just get a flashy discount out of it.

We have started to get a feel of Artin2ition’s unique developing skills. His Flash templates are an experience to savor, and his last one is the cherry on top of the cake.

LambertGroup is new to FC and has just released his first file, an image gallery that really caught my eye. It’s got a nice and smooth picture fade in effect, which makes it perfect for presentations of products.

The thing I loved about this new Flash developer is that he not only included a sample and presented the features of the file, but he also READ MORE »
