ActiveDen Files of the Week

Another mighty fine collection of stock Flash files uploaded to ActiveDen this week, there were so many to choose from! With so many rotating image banners and preloaders already available, it’s interesting to see how some developers are starting to think outside the box and create original files, features or take an old concept and give it an entirely new spin in order to make their new work stand out. Take the Jellyfish Clock for example and the XML Text Scroller with start-in effect. Both old concepts, but with a fresh new spin. So check out all the files below which demonstrate either originality, usefulness, fantastic design, or all of the above! If your file has made it into the list, congratulations, your uploads to ActiveDen really caught our eye this week. :)
