Do you want to show-off your mad ActionScript
skills in the new year?
The goal is to create
an animation that makes circles move around the
screen in the most interesting and creative way.
Create your own or download a sample AS3 source
file and modify it to get started.
- Your animation may be code based or it
may be tweens. If you want some help creating
your own animation using code, feel free to
look at a sample that I have created.
- You can use either ActionScript 2 or
ActionScript 3 for your animations. If you
want to use Silverlight / C#, you may do so
as well.
- Your animation's size must be 500px wide
and 300px tall. No exceptions.
- Because the goal of this contest is to
have circles move around in clever and
interesting ways, you must only use circles.
No other shapes or images will be allowed.
Solid colored or gradient colored
backgrounds are OK.
- Feel free to be creative in your use of
color.
- Once you have created your entry, create
a new thread in the
FXpression 09 forum with the subject
being your entry title.
In the body
of our post, provide a link to a location
where we can preview your animation.
Finally, attach your SWF file as a Zip file
to the post. To learn how to use

entry should look like,

- You can submit as many entries as you
want, but be sure to create a new thread for
each entry.
- This contest ends January 20th at
midnight (Pacific Standard Time), so don't
wait until the last minute to submit your
entry.
The judging will be split into
two rounds. In the first round, a handful of
judges will narrow all of the entries into the
Top 10. These Top 10 entries will be placed into
a public poll where everyone can vote to select
the Top 3.
Entries will be judged on how cool the
movement / animation of the circles is.
All
prizes will be handed out via PayPal, so be sure
you have the ability to receive a payment via
PayPal from the United States. First place will
receive $200, second place will
receive $150, and third place
will receive $100.
