This gauge preloader basically adds a small random range within the target value and animates a needle as it rotates, producing a nice mechanical shaking effect - inspired by Squadron of WWII. Nothing earth-shattering but its still pretty nice looking.

Included are the sources (png, psd, fla).

I found this while digging for another project, and its unfinished but it might jump-start some creativity out there. Its parsing a local XML document, but that could be your RSS feed for your podcasts (or someone else's for that matter).

Included are the sources (I used James O'Reilly's Timer Class stuff to implement line-by-line paragraph animation), pngs, psds, etc. Don't comment on the code, this is pretty old stuff and I would have written it differently today for sure... even in AS2. I haven't cleaned it up at all, but I checked that it works. This was based on .mp3 files. The new player allows for m4a, so take this and run with it.
