About the Author
Christopher Caleb has been developing rich interactive experiences with the Flash

platform for almost a decade. He remembers a time when browsers didn't support images,
and has witnessed technologies such as Flash help drive the web to where it is today. During
that period he has been fortunate enough to have worked with a wide range of clients
including the BBC, Activision, Samsung, and Aardman Animations on projects encompassing
film, games, education, and children's entertainment.
He has a love for all things mobile and has been a proponent of Flash in this space since
its emergence. He is also an active member of the Flash community, both through his
personal blog and the various articles he contributes elsewhere. Whenever he finds a spare
minute, Christopher likes to chip away at the many apps and experiments he has inspired to
undertake.

Christopher is currently a lead Flash developer at WeeWorld—an avatar-based social
network and virtual world for teens. He blogs at www.yeahbutisitflash.com and tweets
as @chriscaleb.
