Michael sent this improved version of Alan Becker’s popular stick figure Flash animation in his WeaklyWebWit email. I’d posted the earlier version on my AFP website a year or two ago, but this one does seem smoother.
As Alan describes the depicted battle, “An animator faces his own animation in deadly combat. The battlefield? The Flash interface itself. A stick figure is created by an animator with the intent to torture. The stick figure drawn by the animator will be using everything he can find - the brush tool, the eraser tool - to get back at his tormentor. It’s resourcefulness versus power. Who will win? You can find out yourself.”

Wicked fun, yes? Want more? Here’s the sequel. The first one took Alan three months to create; this one took five.
