I've been trialing the flex 2 alpha with player 8.5 and have been most interested in the strict typing and the implications it has in compiler optimization and application performance. So I put together a little demo app to experiment with some math calculations. You can see some apps here and here . Please note that you will need flash player 8.5 to see the demo. Here is a screen snapshot:

This little guy was also showcased on the macromedia labs web site here.

I look forward to throwing some more examples up on my blog in the near future and maybe even getting a another spotlight on the labs site :)
