This little Vector Animator Application was a side project that developed as I was working on implementing a simple physics model in flash that was meant to use a series of vectors to define the velocity, acceleration, steering force, etc.

Anyway, I didn't get much farther then defining my vector class, when I stumbled upon some interesting animations I could produce with this new class's rotation function. Essentially the function allows the vector to be rotated around an arbitrary point, and I noticed that manipulating this variable and the rotational angle could produce some interesting effects.

Some of the issues I would still like to work into this application include:

• Ability to color the vectors (independently of each other)
• Going along with the coloration ability, I'd like the user to be able to define a gradient (defined by a couple of colors) that the vector iterates over on each change of the frame, producing a transitional color fade.
• The possibility to change the rotational centers at runtime (using an animated dragging handle).
