Needed a bit of an update on a font site I threw up a few years ago. Specifically I wanted to put a script together to tweet a random font each day. Should have been easy since I already had a script that tweeted new fonts, although it’s been a bit behind since I haven’t been updating the site like I needed.

Admit it, you’ve played an online game while at work. And odds are very good it was written in Flash / ActionScript. We’re going to cook up a very simple Flash project that might serve as the start of a game. Keyword here is simple though.

The Project
First step is to create an empty Flash ActionScript file. We’re going to go with ActionScript 3 with a stage size at the default 550x400px just to keep it easy.
