Mark Fennel founded Flashkit in 1999 to create a Flash resource
site useful to all Flash developers. His original goal was to
make Flashkit a one-stop shop for a variety of Flash resources
(including sound samples, tutorials, and FLAs) and to help foster
a Flash user community.
Today FlashKit is one of the top Flash resource and community
sites on the web. Its resources include:
- Over 500 tutorials
- Thousands of downloadable Flash movie source files
- Over 5000 soundclips
- Web-based forums
Its forums are some of the most active on the web. They have
nearly 370,000 users, over 340,000 topics, and 1.5 million posts—with
some of the top Flash developers in the world participating on
a daily basis. The web forums alone are some of the top resources
on Macromedia Flash anywhere. Virtually any question can be answered
by searching through the Flashkit forums; in the rare case when
you have a question that has not already been answered, you can
always post it in one of the forums.
