I spent several years working primarily with Flash. I started originally with Director and Lingo, then moved to Flash and ActionScript. I built games, microsites, campaigns, competitions, a whole bunch of annoying Facebook apps, you name it. This was back in the day when I was whoring myself out to ad agencies as a freelancer and mostly working on brand/campaign stuff.
Looking back on it, I have nothing I can show for it, really, besides some screenshots here and there. Pretty much all of the sites and projects are gone. It's a bit of a shame. This industry changes and moves forward at a lightning pace.
Some of the other people from my uni went into motion graphics and they can at least use examples of ads or animations from over a decade ago in their showreels. We can't really do that as web developers because of the dynamic nature of the medium.

- vr46 7y agoBefore everything went south, I recorded screen movies of some of my games in action, and grabbed some other visuals. Of course they're at postage stamp resolution by modern standards, but it's something. As far as looking back on my body of work as an old man goes, at least I have a lot of other things to look back on, but a whole chunk is probably lost to the ether.
