Wow, Flash files done completely in ActionScript (minus the movie clips) are amazingly small! 3.2 was a whopping 107KB, but this file was 2KB. Holy crap! (although upon further reflection, the difference is not in using Actionscript, but the fact that this had no image files in it...d'oh!)
Although, it is not quite as intuitive to write everything in ActionScript. As much as I like to write it all in different files, doing it as a layer in Flash is easy, and convenient since everything is on one page.
This project wasn't too bad. I just kept forgetting to link the MovieClips with actual code/files, so that was the only problem I had. One cool thing it does (totally unplanned) is that shooting closer to the blue square makes the particles slow, but far away they move fast. Pretty nifty.
