Talk about one proud moment, can’t believe I’m actually listed there. I would never have imagined seeing this happen when I first started fiddling around with Flash some years ago (much less being listed between Mike Chambers and Peter Hall, though that is just alphabetical coincidence :) ). Its absolutely incredible to realize I’ve contributed read more
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flash/video/team/ This about says it all, without a doubt the best Flash release ever … best Flash development team ever. Thanks guys!
I’ve seen quite a few people posting about Flash 8 apparently not supporting Flash Remoting and wanted to blog something about that. As far as I’ve seen the only issue is that the Flash Remoting installer hasn’t been updated to install itself in the Flash 8 directory. If you’re comfortable with working with the Flash read more

I’m very excited to see United Digital Artists bringing a top notch Flash conference over to Europe. The first edition of Spark (not to be confused with Sparkle ;)) will take place at the Paradiso in Amsterdam on November 16-18. Ticket prices look very reasonable and the initial list of confirmed speakers is no doubt read more
I’ve just finished watching the video up on channel9.msdn.com about Sparkle and must say I’m extremely impressed, but who would’ve expected any less with people like Sam Wan and Manuel Clement on the team! :) Its obvious that these guys have put in a heck of a lot of work in the IDE and it read more
I don’t usually get very excited about design features in Flash but this really is a great little enhancement. When you use the color picker in Flash 8 you can now set the alpha transparency for that color in the same panel rather than having to open up the ‘Color Mixer’ panel.
I really like the color matrix filter introduced in Flash 8 and prompted by some other posts earlier today, I thought I’d release my little color matrix preview tool (actually another windowSWF panel) that should help you with creating a color matrix array. Have fun with it!
Ivan Todorov of Blitz shared some of their guidelines on project directory structures and naming conventions on his blog. Its always very interesting to see how people organize their projects and they seem to have a very effective system going there. Also worth noting is his step-by-step guide on version control with SubVersion, I’m still read more
I’m really late blogging about this but its just too good not to mention — Screenweaver has gone open source! Originally developed by the Rubberduck team, Edwin van Rijkom took over development of this great tool for creating Flash desktop applications and started working on the foundations of Screenweaver Core, a library that acts as read more
