I had come to the end of my patience and was ready to give up with PV3D and change the design completely…

This site is the playground of the The Burned Out Hippy, head honcho of the web design and multimedia company Plagro. It serves no other purpose than to act as a place where I can store my most recent Flash ActionScript experiments. However, I will be posting code whenever an experiment is complete so that you can have a play with it yourselves.
