The Flash version of this experiment is where the project was fully realized and expanded. Many different options were created from what was learned within the PureData experiments.
These control options include:
Number of objects to create upon canvas
The distance between each object
The amount of rotation
Scale of the objects
X and Y position of objects
Flash is also able to import Photoshop PSD files and include their transparency map.
This means that you can grab any image, cut it out, and import it into Flash. This opens the door to another world of exploration.

Here is the orginal Flash file. You will need to have access to Adobe Flash.
1A-REPEAT.fla (basic instructions within file)
or download the instruction-less file: EXPERT-READY.fla

After working within the program for a while, I decided to add a new function.
With this version of the file, every other object will be colored green. This can create some very interesting effects. You can later go into Photoshop and use 'Gradient Map'; this changes the colors easily and fluidly.
2A-REPEAT_SWITCH_COLOR.fla (basic instructions within file)

When I was working to create these images, I became tired of the quality of screenshots as a means of archiving them. So I added a function to allow the canvas to be exported to a PDF. It will ask you which printer you wish to send it to and you can select 'PDF printer'. If the objects on the canvas are vector shapes and not imported photoshop images, then the exported PDF will also be vector. The end result is re-scaleable to ANY size!

Now for some of the results I have created:
Each series of the following 'Excursions' change in the type of specific experimentation.
