Flash MX Easter Egg Revisited

Flash 4 had one Garys Bike Jump, Flash 5 had one Gold Rush, Flash MX has 4 new easter egg games plus the two oldies from the previous versions of Flash. With alot of hassle and movement of the finger, you should be able to access the games in the ‘About Flash’ box in the ‘Help’ menu, but i couldnt seem to hit the spot(supposeadly between the two bottom legs in the center where they join). Burak Kalayci developer of the notorious Actionscript Viewer dug through the code in Flash MX to find a loadMovieNum action, pointing to a flash movie on the Macromedia webserver, If like me, you cant click the spot then you can still play the easter egg games online at this location on the Macromedia website. Find out how he found the url to this flash movie in this article.
