Hope you like this =)
General Knowledge:

Explanation and small sample
Handy Doodads:
Hiding password in image
copyPixel animation & accessorizing
Effects:

Controller Support?
Any idea if Flash 8 supports joystick / control pad? I would love that. Especially for games that require lots of different keys.

It does not support joystick/pad.

Hype over content...
copyPixel is quicker than draw.
Avoid using transparent backgrounds when creating your bitmap if you can, has a large impact ( CPU wise ).
I guess there'll be more of these little mini tips from me to come

Saphua,
If you're going to post demos and experiments, at least leave them online.

I think that that is hilarious, that a professional program would have games built in like that. How in the world did you figure that out?
