Flashkit

www.flashkit.com

Flashkit is the largest Flash resource site on the Internet. With thousands of source files and highly active user boards, Flash developers are sure to find help on just about anything. One of the drawbacks of Flashkit is that it may have too many source files, and no garbage control; there are many great files on the site, but there are also many not-so-great ones, so finding what you want may take a while.

We're Here

www.were-here.com

We're Here has hundreds of source files to offer, and is similar to Flashkit in its variety of support options, but most people use this Web site for the great boards. If you are looking for specific FLA examples, you may be better off looking elsewhere, but if written help is what you need, then this is the place to be.

Ultrashock

www.ultrashock.com

Ultrashock provides an advanced level of source files, forums, games and cartoons, tutorials, and more. What sets Ultrashock apart from other Flash resource sites is that it is geared toward the advanced programmer, and each source file is screened for quality and uniqueness before being offered to the public. If you are looking for help on advanced topics or just need a good example of an advanced FLA file, then this is the place to go. You won't have to spend hours sifting through garbage to find the treasures.

MotionCulture

www.motionculture.org

This resource site provides source files and user boards that cover many topics. MotionCulture is unique in that it provides resources and many non-Flash topics such as HTML, CGI, and Photoshop. If you need help in more than one area of Flash design, this can be a useful place.

Moock.org

www.moock.org/webdesign/flash/index.html

Here you will find brilliant tutorials and learn some of the best programming practices. This site is not a one-stop shop for all of your Flash needs, but it will certainly meet a few needs more than any of the other resource sites can. For instance, you will find the best Flash detection script on the Internet on this site!
