Welcome to KalinFlash.com -- I am Kalin Ringkvist, large-scale ActionScripting specialist. Below are examples of my work (some better than others).

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Professional Work:

I was responsible for the majority of the flash work in the following examples:

iBubble where you can upload your photos, or link to your flickr photos, then add several fully dynamic bubble quotes, or add hats, moustaches, flaming skulls, sunglasses etc. Then add a theme or 'frame' around your photo. Print your creation or email it to a friend. Viral marketing tool.

What's it Worth? If you live in King County or Snohomish County Washington, then you can enter the purchase price of your home and the year that you purchased it and this small app will approximate it's current value and show a custom graph of the price increase.

Plat Map - I built a reusable system of real estate maps for a local realitor. This is just one example. I made half a dozen of them, which you can find if you explore his website. After making the first map, I was able to create new maps within just a couple hours each.

Personal work:

I did these projects for fun and was responsible for any and all work, including any backend, or graphical content:

Axis and Allies The classic WWII board game in flash.

Random Effect Classes A component I developed for Flash 7 and 8 which randomizes any MovieClip in your library in a multitude of different ways.

Kalin's Battle Grid A two-player chess-like board game that I invented with some role-playing elements, and a myriad of options and different ways to play.

Dirty Marbles This is a board game that is basically a rip-off of pachisi. (Par-cheeze-e). This was the first real project that I ever created in Flash, back in 2003.

(Do a Google search for 'Battle Grid' or 'Dirty Marbles' to see the multitude of websites that have stolen and re-posted these games.)

Advertisements These are a series of small square banner ads, advertizing some of my own projects.

Non-Flash Stuff

My focus now is almost entirely on Flash ActionScripting so these are basically irrelevant.

Bad Kitty A joke poster I made in PhotoShop for a coworker whose cat bit her hand.

Disc Golf Database An Access VBA database with data entry system. Big and complex, but not complete.

Java/Visual Basic Programming Examples - These are some simple programs I did for school a while back.

KalinBooks.com I am also a part time science fiction writer (just a hobby). This is the website that features all of my books and short stories.

Crappy Stuff

Do not look at the following examples. They are old and not very impressive. This is stuff I did when first getting into flash.

Dynamic Link Menu With this you can have thousands of links on your website in a small space, all categorized with easy-to-read descriptions and pulled from easily editable text files.

Dynamic Slideshow A slideshow that runs off a simple text file to dynamically load images.

Please Hire Me This was the intro for my old portfolio website, a long time ago. Pretty cheezy.

Tour My Home A simple graphical tour of my apartment. This would be a wonderful promotion tool for many businesses so that customers can see the inside of your store from your website.

SPAM! An educational history of SPAM lunch meat. This is the first thing I ever did in Flash. I'm told that "it has character because it's so terrible ".

Village Inn Opener This is the front page animation I made for The Village Inn Pub and Eatery. This is probably the ugliest and lamest thing I've ever made in Flash.
