In the 105 days since launch, IFBIN authors have added 200 high quality, well documented examples into Flash By Example. What is unfortunate, is that we cannot announce them all on this blog!

In talking with customers, we have done a poor job of communicating what examples are within the subscription products. Although this blog covers many examples, we are adding 3 times more than we can announce. Unless you look within IFBIN regularly, you will miss the addition of many examples. Starting today we are going to work to correct this misunderstanding and provide new ways to "Discover IFBIN".

Changes to IFBIN:

1. Search source code, documentation by keyword.
2. IFBIN Newsletter - All examples added by email.
3. RSS Feeds - Know when examples are published.
4. SWF Preview of all examples.
5. New IFBIN Product, codename "ROUTER" shipping Q1 2006
6. New Website and Product Interfaces

We have been listening closely to your feedback and discovering IFBIN is going to be much easier moving forward. We have the best source examples for learning Flash and Flex and it is time we let everyone see it.

I am extremely proud of the effort poured into Flash By Example by our team. Reaching 300 examples at this quality level was not easy and our authors deserve allot of credit. I look forward to our next milestone of 400.

300 great reasons to become an IFBIN Customer!

Go IFBIN, GO!

Todays free friday comes to us from the early Flash 8 works of Guy Watson. Guy put together this example of a lake effect using perlinNoise and a displacement map filter. The effect is very nice, great work guy!

This example loads an image from the library, then flips it and stacks it below the image to produce a mirroring effect. Then it uses perlinNoise to generate wave like gradients which are used to shift the mirrored image using a displacement map filter to produce the effect of calm waves.
