the animation is lovely and fluid. bit of a shame that the card faces don't have the pictures for the royal cards and the usual layout of multiple suit signs on the number cards, but this is still super.
I used 52-framed movieClip as a card, where frames were values.
And then every suit graphic was one movieClip as well with 4 frames: spade, heart, club and diamond
Worked great! Not so easy to do with HTML though. Lots of figuring out coordinates manually.
