FlashEff Giveaway: 3 Premium Unlimited Licenses to Readers!

FlashEff

The people at FlashEff and Jumpeye Components are giving away 3 FlashEff Premium Unlimited licenses to readers of Vandelay Design! If you’re not familiar with FlashEff, it’s a great resource for quickly and easily creating Flash animation without coding.

FlashEff Premium is the first flash 3rd party AS3.0 component that is 100% compatible with both Flash CS3 and Flash CS4! FlashEff can be used by anyone who knows a little Flash from a total beginner to a Flash guru.

FlashEff comes with over 140 included patterns, including button patterns, text patterns, and symbol patterns. There is also an admin panel to make FlashEff easy to use. The Premium Unlimited License sells for $149, so this is a great prize to win! Besides the unlimited license, a one-month license and a six-month license sell for $39 and $99 respectively.

The Rules:

To enter the contest all you need to do is leave a comment on this post. If you have a particular project or purpose that you would use FlashEff for, feel free to mention it in your comment. On Sunday, December 7th I’ll choose three random winners and I’ll update this post and email the winners.

Be sure to leave a valid email address where you can be reached in case you win. The winners will then need to create an account with Jumpeye (unless you already have one), and they’ll add the Premium Unlimited license to your account so it can be downloaded.

Also, please note that you will need Adobe Flash CS3 or CS4 to use FlashEff.

Visit FlashEff to learn more. Good luck!

UPDATE: The contest is now closed. Here are the winners:

  • Greg Givan
  • Christian
  • Chaitanya VRK

Congratulations to the winners (I’ll be contacting you by email shortly)! Keep your eyes open for upcoming contests and giveaways.

    I’ve recently been lusting after FlashEff - the stuff you can do looks awesome :p

  2. Felix Chi | December 3rd, 2008 at 3:06 pm

    Wow, I have so many uses for this component in mind… actually in my own website it would look so cool, specially in the marketing slides. Does the fact that my birthday is December 7th counts?
    Thanks for the giveaway!

  3. Seb | December 3rd, 2008 at 3:14 pm

    Cool, FlashEff totaly rocks! I already have the free license…I would love to go for a premium one!

  4. Aaron | December 3rd, 2008 at 3:29 pm

    Hey, I’d be interested in giving it a spin. Consider me entered for the contest.

  5. matthew ladner | December 3rd, 2008 at 3:36 pm

  6. nexia lys | December 3rd, 2008 at 3:37 pm

    i’m building a parenting website soon, and i try to find the best design for a logo, header and homepage… if FlashEff is the answer for a great animated result, why not… i’m a code wizard in php, but a dumb designer… ;)

  7. Eric GRanata | December 3rd, 2008 at 3:55 pm

    I’ll win one of these eventually.

  8. Mariella | December 3rd, 2008 at 3:58 pm

    I have to totally rebuild a swf animation that was made in GoLive using Flash CS4. I’d love to use FlashEff while I’m at it!

  9. Sonnenberg | December 3rd, 2008 at 4:00 pm

    We are a small non-profit which supports those infected and affected by AIDS/HIV. In honor of World AIDS Day this week we are launching a new site soon…and to use FlashEff would take us to the next level.

  10. Joseph | December 3rd, 2008 at 4:07 pm

    Eff me…!

  11. Alvaro | December 3rd, 2008 at 4:28 pm

    Hi! I’m interesting in this component. I usually work with Flash and I would like start a new project with FlashEff.

    Cheers!

  12. RaSh | December 3rd, 2008 at 5:03 pm

    Wow!
    Ive just switched from AS2 to AS3, but still coding effects is really time consuming, so it’ll really be helpful for my work!

    Currently organizing a national level competition on Web Development.. Will be great if I can use this to promote (And it could feature in the problem statements too!) :)

    Anyway will see if I can try the free version.. Thanks for the post!

  13. Fabio Demarchi | December 3rd, 2008 at 5:12 pm

    woo hoo. i just found FlasEff and would love to have this prize! Thanks for offering.

    it would be for commercial use. some clients want flash banners, but i can’t seem to master the coding. simple stuff i can do, but this would set me free!

  18. Vidyut Sethi | December 3rd, 2008 at 5:51 pm

    Great Offer. Neatly developed flash files are very useful. Flasheff is famous for the same. Hope Flasheff gives many more such offers here in future.

  19. ernad | December 3rd, 2008 at 6:16 pm

    I’m reading your site for a long time and I hope I can win this kind of award.

  30. Mike Hatfield | December 3rd, 2008 at 8:41 pm

    I don’t even know where to begin - I can think of places on all my sites where I could use these outstanding effects!

  31. Mark | December 3rd, 2008 at 8:46 pm

    Thanks for the contest. FlashEff rocks! I’d really like to use it to enhance my website for our local high school wrestling team. We host one of the largest Christmas tournaments in the midwest and FlashEff would really help us market the tourney. Plus, the kids on the team would love to see the cool effects FlashEff can help me create for our website!

  32. Jayphen | December 3rd, 2008 at 8:58 pm

    I’m a complete Flash noob, but my clients are always asking for bits and pieces & I have to outsource. This would be massive for me.

  33. Patrick | December 3rd, 2008 at 9:32 pm

    FlashEff looks impressive, I’m thinking about using the effects for a multi-touch prototype along with tbeta - http://tbeta.nuigroup.com/

  34. Alex | December 3rd, 2008 at 10:42 pm

    Thanks for the opportunity! Looks like a great package. I would look forward to using it with some of our web projects or promotional pieces at Purdue University.

  35. Andrew | December 3rd, 2008 at 10:45 pm

    Would love to be user 26451. The tool set looks looks robust and a real time saver.

  36. Joshua | December 3rd, 2008 at 10:53 pm

    I just started making web pages and learning to use word press. This program would help me become the blogging king!!

  37. Felix | December 3rd, 2008 at 11:39 pm

    Yay freebies!

  38. Amber Weinberg | December 4th, 2008 at 12:10 am

    Oh! Please give it to me my Flash is…less than stellar ;)

  39. Raju | December 4th, 2008 at 12:58 am

    Just 2 days back I had stumbled upon this great piece of software, will be amazing to win the license for free :D

  40. J Meredith | December 4th, 2008 at 1:12 am

    This would be awesome to have and a real timesaver - graphics I can do… coding still makes my head hurt :)

  41. Big Buddy | December 4th, 2008 at 1:23 am

    Perfect timing! My brand new CS4 Design Premium is on its way from Adobe as we speak. I can’t wait to put it to use with my free FlashEff account!

  42. Jeff | December 4th, 2008 at 1:51 am

    I’ve just been charged with taking our church’s online presence to the next level with Flash & videos. This looks like it would compensate for my lacking, but learning, Flash skills.

    Cheers.

  43. Coby | December 4th, 2008 at 2:18 am

    Oh man, I never win any of these kinds of contests (or any contest for that matter). I would love to be lucky enough to win this!!

  44. Jerad Hill | December 4th, 2008 at 2:36 am

    I would love a license to that service. I have been eyeballing it but have not given in yet. I have been a subscriber to your blog for most of this year. Thank you for all that you do.

  45. Stefan | December 4th, 2008 at 3:09 am

    didn’t know FlashEff … but looks awesome. would love to get a license

  46. Mayur | December 4th, 2008 at 3:22 am

    I’m too lazy to check. How does one integrate this into WORDPRESS??

    Thanks :)

  47. James | December 4th, 2008 at 3:23 am

    I would love to get myself a copy of this wonderful software!

  48. Keizoo | December 4th, 2008 at 4:24 am

    Hello from Japan!
    I’ve started learning FLASH since last month and just found your site.
    This is the good chance to learn about the high techniques of text effects.I’m looking foward to hearing from you!

  49. Misterscheff | December 4th, 2008 at 4:45 am

    Anything to make work just a little bit easier, eh?

  50. Roark McColgan | December 4th, 2008 at 4:51 am

    In nearly every website I create, flash or combined Flash / HTML, I find myself spending many hours trying to achieve effects not even close to those Flash eff does in a couple minutes.

    And I like beer, you’d be giving me more time to drink it ;)

  51. Jônatan Fróes | December 4th, 2008 at 6:22 am

    Just Amiazing…. Thanks!

  52. Jean-François | December 4th, 2008 at 6:56 am

    Huuraa for FlashEff !

  53. Vanessa | December 4th, 2008 at 7:13 am

    Tried it and loved it! Yay FlashEff :)

  54. Kaiserlino | December 4th, 2008 at 7:18 am

    Hi, would love to use some..
    We don’t have such experience in flash, so it would help

  55. Omar | December 4th, 2008 at 8:18 am

    Hi there i would love an invite please

  56. Greg Givan | December 4th, 2008 at 8:52 am

    Having access to this kind of resource could allow my team to begin to bring more Flash work in-house and away from under-performing agencies. Save us a lot of money and maybe allow us to spend it on hiring more people.

    As an experienced AS2.0 developer in Flash, FlashEff would give me the tools to rapidly prototype exciting Flash pieces and maybe win over hard to please stakeholders.

    thanks.

  57. kingcole | December 4th, 2008 at 9:10 am

    great stuff, I’ll need it

  58. fmvapp | December 4th, 2008 at 9:57 am

    I would love to win this….I’ve had my eyes on FlashEff for awhile!!

  59. Jeremy | December 4th, 2008 at 10:01 am

    I already use Flash, but could definitely use a quick tool for those simple projects.

  60. Marge Dalto | December 4th, 2008 at 10:18 am

    i would love it. I love easier new stuff I love technology!!!!!

  61. Christian | December 4th, 2008 at 10:30 am

    This would save my job!!!! I hope I get picked! I hope I get Picked! ::crossing fingers::

  62. Kyle | December 4th, 2008 at 11:35 am

    I’ve never heard of the product, but it surely seem very useful for someone with my (lack of) skills in Flash. I’d love a copy, and keep up the great posts.

  63. Amy | December 4th, 2008 at 11:54 am

    Pick me! I would love to learn a quick and easy way to create Flash animation.

  64. Chaitanya VRK | December 4th, 2008 at 1:08 pm

    Hope I will get one this time.

  65. Johnny C | December 4th, 2008 at 1:15 pm

    Ummmm. So freaking cool!!! Will be trying this out, even if I don’t win. By the way your blog is one of the best design blogs out there, a must read for me.

  66. Jason | December 4th, 2008 at 1:29 pm

  67. Jure | December 4th, 2008 at 3:37 pm

    I already used free flasheff on site (http://temp.ajax.si), it’s prerelease site soon it will be published.

    Flasheff is simple and fast for quick implementations.

    I’m in the game now :)

  68. Bobby | December 4th, 2008 at 4:02 pm

  70. Nathan Chapman | December 4th, 2008 at 7:13 pm

    Entered Please!
    Actually was just about to click the ‘buy’ button when this post popped up on reader. Nice timing.
    Love you guys.

  71. Mitchell Dominguez | December 5th, 2008 at 7:51 am

    What a great contest idea. I’m sure many folks who have good things to offer to the world would benefit in these harsh economic times with using Elf. If we can win this contest we would be creating an additional series of Flash video/slideshows showing Windows PC users the dangers of key loggers sneaking into their PC’s and wreaking havoc with their privacy and financial life. Anti-virus/spyware suites according to industry experts let thru 80% of keyloggers. Also, we address the newest danger of “Clickjacking” and how we can help you prevent that pernicious attack from stealing your valuable online financial information. Our goal is to show the good folks in cyberspace how the best darn anti key logger and “Clickjack” alert software will add a level security that is an absolute must have in this always on cyber universe.
    Thank you for your consideration and Happy Holidays to one and all. Mitchell Dominguez

  72. shin okada | December 5th, 2008 at 10:49 am

    I used this for a month. It will be great if I can get this again.

  73. Ringgle CMS | December 5th, 2008 at 10:54 am

    Would love to get Flasheff license. It is much easier and faster than trying to work with swish!

  74. Ronda Y. Fisher | December 5th, 2008 at 11:25 am

    Thanks Ronda Fisher

  76. Gavin | December 5th, 2008 at 4:46 pm

  79. Patrick B. | December 6th, 2008 at 12:20 am

  80. Greg | December 6th, 2008 at 2:21 am

    Thanks for the chance to win!
    Greg

  81. Ed | December 6th, 2008 at 4:38 am
