Goodbye FlashDen, hello ActiveDen
I’ve found out today, that there is no longer FlashDen.net, but instead there is new site in Envato network called ActiveDen. It’s same site, but Adobe has asked Envato to change the name because “Flash” is registered trademark of Adobe. And there are also Flex files on ActiveDen, so there are no more just pure Flash files, so it’s maybe better name now.

I think I will use this function a lot from now on

I working on some game editors for my old game engine (not finished) to show people something what I have and let people convince me maybe to continue (fallenswordsgame.com) and there are lot of PNG assets. If I got on stage many PNG images there is problem with selection of correct one, because in AS3 there are MouseEvent events even on transparent pixels and that’s problem. I have tried search if someone did great job on some workaround and I have found really great AS3 class called InteractivePNG.
