Art-spire has made a list that although not exhaustive, it does cover the subject very well and also of serves as a historic reference. Somewhere in there you will also find Less Rain 
In a quest to inspire young children to explore their creativity and imagination, Made in Me stumbled upon Less Rain and hired us as the production partners for the Land of Me - a suite of six creative software activities for children aged 2 and up to play with grown-ups.
Made in Me provided amazing words, illustration, animation and sound, Less Rain provided design, interactivity and technical direction to bundle everything together in a very sophisticated Adobe Air app!
Unfortunately its not for free, but you can download a functioning demo version here as well as watch some very informative videos here.
Qualcomm's Dream Device, looking somewhat familiar.
This year Less Rain is the only German agency to win a coveted Webby Award, aka "The Internet Oscar". Nominated from almost 10.000 entries, our Red Bull Soapbox Racer won the People's Voice Award in the Game or Application category. Thanks again to everyone who voted!
Andreas Lutz wins the only other Webby going to Germany, in the Student category for his portfolio "Because clicking is so 90s!". Congratulations!
Following the nominations at the Webbys, FITC and The One Show, the Red Bull Soapbox Racer is now also nominated at the Clios 2010 in the category Beverages / Non-Alcoholic. We are pitted against the Coca Cola Happiness Machine by Definition 6, a nice example of a viral video done right:
Following the recent nominations we are now competing for a Webby as well, in the coveted category Interactive Advertising / Game or Application. And again, we need you! Please vote for the Red Bull Soapbox Racer at the People's Voice Award for a chance to win a Good Deed of the Day-Medal.
Update: Soapbox Racer wins the People's Voice Award. Thank you, people!
Our friend Hawken just released his first iPhone app, Facemakr, and apparently I'm in it. So if you ever wanted to create a portrait based on my likeness, now you can!
The Red Bull Soapbox Racer has been officially nominated at The One Show, and today also at Flash in the Can, in the categories 3D Flash and Flash Game.

Update: You can now vote for the Red Bull Soapbox Racer at the FITC Peoples Choice Award.
Update 2: We won! Red Bull Soapbox Racer came first in the category 3D Flash. Many thanks to all of you at FITC!

While developing an AIR project one of the most annoying problems we are having is the impossibility to intercept when a runtime exception is triggered in the installed AIR application.
After Googling a bit we found a couple of interesting solutions provided by Xavi Beumala in his blog:
The Problem:
In Firefox 3.6 for Windows if you embed a Flash Movie with the wmode parameter in the object tag set as default (wmode=”window”) the mouse wheel event is not propagated correctly, instead it is captured automatically by the Flash movie making the scroll wheel not working properly.
Common Example (youtube video):
If you hover the mouse cursor over the embedded video, the mouse wheel doesn’t scroll any more, instead if you leave the embedded video area the mouse wheel scrolls correctly.

The Solution:
The only solution I have found so far is setting the wmode parameter in the object tag to “opaque” or “transparent” so the mouse wheel event is propagated correctly, but this solution is far away from ideal.
