Check this particle effect out - one of the best uses i’ve seen lately - and very pretty no matter what the content!
This sample was found at one of my new favorite resources for AS3 - www.flashandmath.com - it is maintained by two individuals who have done a beautiful job assembling a nice array of tutorials. Their code is the most detailed with comments i have seen. I’ve only recently stumbled into this site - but it’s already helped me out tremendously with figuring out some critical things. I highly recommend at least browsing the samples to see some beautiful code at work - even if you aren’t a developer/programmer yourself!

UPDATE:
Jack has been making many updates recently creating a whole variety of very nice tweening options! It’s not just TweenLite for me anymore - now all kinds of goodies! (TweenMax[Including: Orienting & tweening on a bezier curve!], TransformMatrixProxy, ColorTransformProxy, TweenFilterLite, and of course still good ol TweenLite)
As mentioned before - this is the most efficient animation class i found yet - very light code, and very easy to use. If you are doing any flash animation, try this option out! He has class options for both AS2 & AS3. Go check out his blog - and see examples of all the options!
I have been slowly but surely diving into AS3 lately. I have finally found a very nice & efficient tween engine at http://blog.greensock.com/tweenliteas3/. File Size added to published SWF: About 2Kb, now that’s efficient! Other huge benefits include nice documentation at site, and two very nice .fla files to demonstrate use!
And did i mention this package is open source, general public license (free to anyone). If you are planning on doing any animation in AS3, i highly recommend start with this tween engine!
