I’m going to continue introduce people to the best Russian flashers and their blogs. This time I’ll talk about _etc. One of the respected flasher.ru moderators, the man who closed more than 9000 topics for “meaningless title”, he seemingly knows bytecode better than parents know their children. How to explain these excellent peaces he’s made otherwise?
One by one(links guide to examples where sources also can be downloaded, or to a page with download link).

FontLoader. This one let us upload swf-files with embedded-fonts to main swf and use them in main one. So short, so usefull!
MouseWheel. In AS2 if flash has had focus then mouse scroll will not scroll html-page. This is not true for AS3 unfortunately. This class cure the problem (as a matter of a fact it adds as2-flash to stage and connects with LocalConnection to it, but does this in a very smart way).
getDefinitionNames. It returns names of all classes in loaded swf or defined domain. A nice tool and weapon of a flash-hacker.
 

Vadim (use nickname “Badim” usually) – known flash game developer among Russians. I believe in year 2007 or so he retired casual games development office (“dambshit” he called their games) and began making flash-games on his own. He’s made nice start, he’s made over 40 000$ for the first year. This is of course less than good plastic surgeon makes, but rather well for programmer from Russia. He’s known to flasher.ru clubbers, where all Russian-speaking flashers hanging; develops his own portal (which monthly income’s exceeded 1 000$); carries his own blog and attends conferences. Why am I writing about him? Well, he’s may be not the best flash game developer, and may be he’s not without vanity, but if you’re to become flash game developer, then his blog is an information treasure for you (yes, for English-speakers too, cause Vadim also carries his blog in English). What are fgl, mochiads, mochibot to? Vadim tells! How to sell your game, what portal owners want from game developers, what sponsorship is? Vadim tells! Vadim share everything: ways of earning for flash game developer, links to popular game portals, his revenue reports, sponsors mail addresses and links to interesting articles he’d found in Internet.

Here is a link to brilliant puzzle game. Perfect sound accompaniment, excellent design. It's a pity it's not freeware, still even demo version is enjoyable. This is how flash games must be made!

Stuble upon some interesting component for flex which displays a set of items that are linked to each other. This is Ruben Swieringa's application using this component on the photo. Here is a link to it.

Found interesting flash particle engine in Internet. Looks nice, it's friends with Papervision3d and some other flash 3d-engines.
