FIVe3D is a vector based 3D engine. It means it does better job when rendering text than e.g. Papervision which is bitmap based.

Zack Jordan who is obviously a fan of FIVe3D prepared a nice tutorial how to create a TextCloud with FIVe3D.

Ifbin

Script Image: 
ifbin-0.jpg

Ifbin is a collection of actionscript (AS1 and AS2) examples. It is distributed as a application using which you can browse and download the examples. The examples are structured in categories like:
- Creative (particle system, physics)
- Data Services (socket servers)
- Flash 8 Examples (filter effects)
and others.

The examples are mainly from 2005 but they are still useful as a good tutorial resource. My favourite examples are:
- Lake effect (water ripples like effect)
- Union jack (bitmap flag waving in air)
