If you are ever a bit bored and looking for some cool material for some Flash Math Experimentation (surely there are one or two of you out there besides myself who do stuff like this), check out Wolfram Mathworld. Start browsing til you find something interesting and try to do it in Flash.
Tonight I wandered across the page on Tangent Circles and created the following piece:
Drag around by the inner circles. Any anatomical resemblance is a product of coincidence and your own imagination.

Free copy of Foundation ActionScript 3.0: Making Things Move! to the first person who sends back the FLA altered to draw the inner and outer Soddy circles. Seriously. [Sorry, we have a winner. Contest closed.]
awesome, the triple-breasted whore of Eroticon Six lives!
Nice work Keith.
Either that’s one heck of a coincidence, or I have quite the imagination.
Thanks for the link and source code!
LOL Robin. It really was a coincidence. I searched for a pastel color palette at ColourLovers, applied the colors, took a look, and started chuckling to myself.
I’d take up that challenge, but I already have a copy of the book. In fact, I’ve been pimping it on my site.
hmmm… maybe one month ago…
can’t wait!:

Done! I’ll post it soon. Cheers!
Awesome thanks for the mathworld link. I’d love to be bored enough and have the time to make some of these flash files!
