Kinematics
It looks like kinematics in Flash are becoming en vogue again. At least there is this thread on were-here.com which created some interesting results:
Bit-101 has created this arm which looks very promising (source code is here).
Elrik contributes two demos: this and that
Of course if it comes to IK I shall not forget to mention Andries' masterpiece from Vectorlounge Amsterdam.
And for some more insight you might consider this page by Jon Rowe.

The IK system created for vectorlounge is totally amazing. I've tried creating an IK for a person, and if I knew the proper physics and stuff for walking i could implement them on this body. if you want to have a look, you can access it via my site through experiments > virtual puppet. But its really nuthing to write home about. Oh well love your site, it is a great source of informaion for the flash community.
Keep up the good work,

Mine's pretty simple. just calculates target angles and locations and eases towards them.
