February was the month of beautiful Flash files. We managed to feature three of our most creative Flash templates so far, along with 3D carousels, menus and slideshows.

This was the month when we chose to promote Flash components for a “fresh start” – the launch or the redesign of your website. We also made a habit out of featuring some of our best Flash developers that have put a lot of effort and passion into their work.  Congrats to everyone of you!

This is quite a nice sellection, so enjoy! Click on the images to find out more about the author or the file.

Mark Doherty, Flash Platform Evangelist in Mobile and Devices, answered the questions of  FFDmag readers on the subject of FP 10.1.

Asked by a reader what the future of FP 10.1 is on all mobile platforms, Mark said:

We are really excited about delivering Flash Player 10.1 to mobile and device platforms. Today we are working with all the major device manufacturers, chipset vendors and content providers to deliver Flash Player 10.1. In all we have announced that Flash Player 10.1 will come to Android, Palm, Blackberry, Symbian, Windows Mobile and LiMo devices. The first devices will get Flash Player support in the first half of 2010.

Hi everybody! We have a proposal for all Flash lovers out there, that can help you promote your website for free. We’re always eager to see how you use our Flash components, so if you’re excited about the file you purchased and your website’s new look,  why not brag about it?

We’d like to know more about your business and see how our components helped you promote your products. Your website might just be included in our future issues of our newsletter. In addition, Steven or I will write a special Flash Catwalk article on our www.flashxml.com blog presenting it. So don’t be shy and drop us a comment with your link. We’re looking forward to seeing your examples.

Cheers!

Valentine’s Day may be one of the cheesiest holidays out there and you can either ignore it or make the best of it. There are a lot of people that can’t wait for 14th of February, so why not give them what they want to see? Lovely red hearts, roses, champagne glasses and… a Flash game.

If these won’t do the trick, then you should definitely check out this following Valentine’s Day Flash game. If you’re planning on breaking some hearts, practice on this:

We particularly enjoyed January, not just because it was a more relaxing month for most of us ( ), but more because when relaxed, creativity is at its best. You don’t even know when it strikes you. Our developers have had time to chill, to spend quality time with friends and family and, last but not least, to research for new, fresh ideas.  Well, that’s what we got in January: fresh, inspired designs, cool features and a great collection of Flash components, from templates and image galleries to fun, animated menus.

Check out this showcase of files that got featured in January and you’ll see what I mean. Good job, everybody!

There isn’t an official date of Flash CS5’s release, but rumors are that the Creative Suite CS5 will be released on 10th of April 2010. Even though there are only minor improvements to the new features of Flash CS5, the big, exciting news regards the Packager for iPhone. Flash developers will be able to export Flash applications and games directly to their iPhone.

Lee Brimelow has already released on his blog Adrian Ludwig’s video showing a sneak peak at the new applications for the iPhone created using Flash CS5. Take a look:

Even though December equals relaxation to people with a 9 to 5 schedule, our creative Flash developers kept it going. They didn’t want to waist their inspiration and we’re glad because the Flash files they created in the last month of 2009 prove their hard-work and passion.

The files we chose for the Featured Product box are absolutely stunning, but I bet there’s a lot more beautiful Flash components in store for us in 2010, so stay tuned! Great work, everybody!

Oxylus deserves a round of applause, especially because he’s been inspired even at the end of December, when most of us were daydreaming and thinking of the holidays.

Oxylus‘ newest files are pretty awesome, not to mention innovative. Take his True 3D Image Menu Box AS3 for instance.
