Great examples of Flash

I have three cool new flash websites to add to the collection.

The first is "A Robot Called John". A sweet little site about a lonely robot with some dark undertones.

Rustboy

 Double Click - Master of PopunderSome Thoughts on Pop-Under Ads

 
Popunders are the latest 'innovation' by online marketers, and essentially what they do is open a new window with an advert under the window you're currently browsing.
 
But I have a comment regarding Pop under ads, and that is they are often animated, but there is no way to 'rewind' the ad so you can see it again. Seeing as I observed this on a Pop-under ad and I was quick enough to click on it to watch it from the start, the advert actually made sense to me, but looking at the end screen, the advert has very little meaning because it just has a picture of a girl and says 'click here'
 
I would just like to suggest that maybe pop under ads have a play or rewind button on them, or even better, that they don't play untill the pop under window is the 'front' window, because sometimes the flash animation slows the computer that it affect other browsers loading, or causes music playing on the computer to stutter.

The Scariest website on the Internet.

Frequentc has released his portfolio website

The attention to detail in his creation is awesome, and there are explosions, flying eyes, light shading and smoke effects. And yes this is a flash site. Overall the site has a computer game look which is very cool. So take a look   6:58:40 PM
