I made this a while back which may be of use to some, and I may use it myself depending on what the theme comes out as.

Something for Flash,  Takes a bunch of frames and stores them as a jpeg for colour and png for alpha.  then breaks the fremes up into seperate BitmapData object on load.

I didn’t do any frame animation in Boomshakalaka, because it seemed to be fairly tricky to get animations into flash.  If  need them this time then maybe this will help.
