 The following animation is a chaotic fractal tree that is different from the previous example in the fractal tree tutorial. Keep clicking in the animation, and you will find various randomly generated branches.
Here, I just threw in as many Math.random() statements as I could: a random number of sub-branches, a random angle, and a random shrinking ratio. Click the scene to regenerate :)

| Creating some code for a forum member, I came up with this idea. It uses the Grid tutorial by Ilyas Usal. It can be used as effect on images, it can fade from left to right and from bottom to top, and it can even be used for preloaders. But how do you create it ? You're about to find out.

| This is actually an ongoing debate on many forums now-a-days. What really makes a RPG stand out from another RPG?
Well...If you ask some people, they would tell you that it is the Storyline that makes the RP game unique. Then there are those who would say that the Characters are what makes it unique. How about the battle system or the maps or...well, you understand where I'm coming from.
If you ask me, it takes all of those to make a great RPG. Now, as a programmer though, what are the th

| Now that we have the function, the bulk of the work is done. All we have to do is call it recursively. But let's not go too fast. First we'll do the recursion "by hand".

| Flash allows for various instances (movie clips) to be dragged or made to follow the mouse. Unlike Flash 4, Flash 5 also allows the entire mouse pointer to be hidden from the animation itself. That allows for "custom" mouse pointers in the animation that the effect is used in.

| Advanced Rollovers
The button rollovers and simple text effects do not provide the level of control you need for creating killer animations. Using Tell Target with a Button can create navigational elements with custom rollover effects that are simple yet aesthetically appealing. Before we begin, please make sure you have a basic understanding of how to use the following technique.

Now I wrote a second version for this effect because so many people were e-mailing me (and I thank you all), about, "How do I make it choose the letter faster?", or "why doesn't it work?", or "why can't I use numbers?", etc.
Well I made this tutorial to make answering those questions easier, as well as a better and more efficient way of making this effect (wait, there's efficiency involved in flash??? yes.).

| The first thing we need for a recursive function is a function. A function that will draw a branch. I shall call that function makeBranch. I want that function to draw a branch at a given position, in a given direction, I want it to be of a given length, and of a certain diameter. All those requirements will be input as be parameters of the makeBranch function.

| We call recursion the fact of allowing a function to call itself until some condition is met. It is really useful when you're doing complicated math calculations AND when you're trying to draw repetitive patters in Flash. Now I know you guys would love to hear about the math, but life's unfair, I'll only talk about the Flash.
All right, so a recursive function is a function that does stuff, and then calls itself, possibly with a different set of parameter, until we tell it to stop. To illust

| Vertical shooters are also known as Fixed Shooter.
A fixed shooter has players only able to control their two-dimensional position on the screen and sometimes the direction they are facing*

So, we will create a game using our super hero Pawel to kill dragons that are coming from one side of the screen. I have provided an FLA with all of the graphics you will need, but you will need to place the graphics in the right spot. This tutorial is more of an explanation of the code w
