A few weeks ago we ran a huge Flex upload competition. We offered $50 for the first file uploaded in each category and $200 to the best overall Flex file. I’m pleased to announce that not only did every single category receive at least one submission, but there are now 35 Flex files!
The competition for the the $200 prize was close, but the winner is NathanR with Flex Spectrum.
Below are the $50 winners for each category. Congrats everyone!
This competition is now CLOSED. Unfortunately, there were a few entries that were blocked by the spam filter. Don’t worry, those entries will still be judged. We’ll let you know as soon as we’ve opened voting. Good luck everyone!

Thank you to everyone who participated and to GreenSock for donating $1,200 worth of code! There were some fantastic entries and it was very close, but after much deliberation, we came up with a clear winner.
First Prize:
No, we didn’t go with the most artistic submission, but it was the one we thought was the most creative! Congratulations to our winner, RanFireFly! Alright everyone, all you need to do is click where it says “change text” to the right. In the text area, just add your username, buy it, then walk around in populated areas waiting for other FlashDen users to notice you.
By popular demand we’ve decided to open up a store to sell FlashDen shirts, mugs, mouse pads, and a bunch of other fun stuff. Check it out here: zazzle.com/flashden.
Where Will All the Proceeds Go?
100% of FlashDen’s proceeds from the store will go to the Australlian Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal. For those of you who don’t know, due to a record-breaking heatwave, Victoria Australia has recently been plagued with hundreds of fires. Victoria is no stranger to deadly fires, but this year has been the most devastating in Australia’s history. Thousands have lost their homes and over 200 have been reported dead so far. The proceeds from the store will help, but if you’d like to do more click here for more information. Click here for an amazing survival story. Read More …
