I’ve created quite a few tools for Flash over the years and I’ve released several of them on this blog. Here they are for your amusement, with links to downloadable files, Youtube tutorials, and the original blog posts where I introduced them.
If you like these tools and you’d like to encourage further developments, you can send me a donation:

VideoAutosaverAutomatically saves your FLA at intervals, keeping several old versions of the file just in case.
AutotweenerKeyframe-based tweening that’ll blow your mind!
Art BrushApply a symbol as a brushstroke along a path (frickin’ awesome!)Add VerticesDouble the number of vertices in the selected vector artClassic Tween Sync toolsTwo tools: one toggles a classic tween without affecting the “sync” setting, and the other turns off “sync” regardless of the current tween stateDistribute Symbol Along PathPlace a symbol repeatedly along a path Dynamic Mask SymbolA method for creating complex masks, including gradients and multiple pieces Ease In 100%, Ease Out 100%Set the current frame to have100% easing in one or the other directionEase In and outCreate two classic tweens, one with an ease-in (-100) and an ease-out (+100)Navigation toolsTools for navigating through the timeline without losing your selection.Reset transform (imrpoved)Reset a symbol’s transform back to a reference symbol rather than just zero. Self-Rendering V-CamA virtual camera that can render out a Flash movie as a PNG sequence, including actionscript and MovieClips, with frame-perfect, lossless renderingZero transformZero a symbol instance’s transform so it looks the same but its transform is now 100% with no rotation or skew.
thanks for sharing i would like to get back all the pencil and line atributes that the flash mx has because all the cs flash now , when you try to make a new drawing with the pencil the line thinks that it is commanded by it self and al the ssmoothing stuff, sucks, i wanted just like it was in flash mx, peeaaase! hahahahaha!
Thank you for your hardwork and keep it up. I used the cam but when i zoom in the effects of symbols(blur, etc.) wear out and the original content shows and adobe air does not support 3d transformations. So it’s not realistically usable in my case and i tryed other cam but yours is better. I would like to use the cam if you can please tell me how to get through the first two problems. Also, any hints on how to make flash lag less for complex animations or how to render faster or how get through the glitch that happens when a rendered video(throuh pngs) and make it smooth and professional? Any comment is appreciated and thank you. And I am looking for a computer for easy animation handling and fast rendering around $1,000, any suggestions? Thank you, Mil.
