Ok so just in the popular files list, I can see atleast 5 banner rotator files, which made me think a bit… I think its time for a new contest…
There isnt really many original files coming out at all lately, and they are all remakes of the best sellers… How about if FlashDen did a contest to promote users to create more original files?
I mean this isnt really clear, but I would just love to see more original files here… Ive even seen many remakes of my files, that do the exact same thing, just different colors and such…
Also, the last contest kind of sucked… It was just to promote AudioJungle, and was more of a lottery than a contest… I didnt even bother with it 
You may want to take into account that FD is anyway a market place for author to upload their works and earn revenue, income is still a large factor.
Original/strange stuff in my own experience is not often sold well, it’s not author fault, it’s just buyer sometime want to stick into old fashion product.

I am fairly new here but it’s really hard, I fallow most of the file here and try to see what not to submit so i won’t repeat the idea of the file. The XML sector is a very heavily submit.
Submitting animation I won’t do since it’s easy to grab on Decompiler so i left with coding more going to Math direction but try to make it simple for others is not easy task.
I guess what distinct you is been original but that’s not easy.
My biggest dilemma is if I should sell my unique files in FD . My solution is to make file only for FD but then I need time for that . Dammit I am confused now (: funny man (?:

everything has an end, even the creativity…So the demand and necessity plays the role and keeps us to develop better or newer stuff so as to give room for further creative items.
I think after 5000 files everything has been done – we’re all running out of ideas now
Naw, there’s always a new “wheel” to invent or a new way to “slice” bread. Speaking as a “buyer” (mostly) and not a seller, the field is still wide open. I rarely find “exactly” what I’m looking for, so I think there is room for more files here, but… the searching feature needs an upgrade. I know it’s not easy to organize all of these files, but if FD could figure out a way to tweak the search engine or help authors submit there info (so it’s more search engine friendly), I think the market place on FD for creative work would explode. One example that might help:
I use a lot of RSS on my website. I’ve been hitting FD for months with searches like “rss” “rss tickers” “rss readers” “new tickers” etc… but the other day I started scrolling through some of the files manually (page by page) and found several files that I’d never seen before. I bought one of them and it worked out great, so…. maybe FD and the authors already know this, but FD search engine placement is hugh!
and to further encourage the authors: I think the web is growing with site owners just like me. I can program html and even do some cool stuff with flash, but I can’t (and don’t have time to figure out how to) code the more advanced db and scripting features like rss, custom shopping carts, web gui’s, etc… The word about FD is just starting to break in the “newbie, I own a website, but really don’t know what I’m doing” crowd, lol… I think FD will become a haven for more and more guys like me. SO KEEP CODING ! lol… The buyers will come, I promise…
