Regular Expressions for ActionScript

The RegExp Parser Class for Flash 5/Flash MX is a cool extra feature. Kind of strange that Macromedia never included something like this. According to Branden Hall its fast too (and he should know). I haven't had the chance to try it out myself yet.

Quasimondo Flash Google API search

Mario keeps proving that he knows how to use the new cool features of Flash MX, and the equally cool features of the Google API with his Google API Flash banner

He is using it on all the stories on the frontpage of Quasmindo.com, kind of scary that I am the only search result associated with the story about "the search for Quasimodo". :-)

Mario has made the full source code for the Google API Flash banner available, great job Mario!

I have been contemplating including it on my own blog, but I think that if I do, I will do it purely on the individual stories and not on the index. I haven't really tested it out - but I have a feeling that many SWFs running on the frontpage at the same time doesn't really treat peoples CPU's all too good.
