Handling HTML in Flash TextFields as you all know is far from easy and intuitive. One thing that really drove me crazy is the fact that when adding Text or HTML to a TextField that already has HTML-Text in it a lot of weird or at least not quite intuitive things happen.

For last weeks Release-Party of the new Chimbiss Website I revisited the code from my Hype Logo Animation and added some After Effects fast-motion and that’s what I came up with:

For my last project for Chimbiss that was heavily based on multiple swf’s communicating via LocalConnection I realized that how LocalConnection works in Flash is far from intuitive. What I needed was a way to connect to a bunch of swfs, manage these connections and react to status changes. Some kind of solution to manage this was needed.
