    I'm very pleased to be speaking at Flash on the Beach on one of my favourite, all be it a little exotic, topics -- JavaScript Flash, the extensibility layer of the Flash IDE. I've never been to Brighton and seeing the impressive lineup of international speakers this is the perfect excuse! ;)

    Its been several months since I first announced FlashExtensibility.com, but have finally found the time to get it up and running! The idea behind this site is to provide an open source repository of JSFL scripts, everyone can get involved and share their work. Right now I've got experiments up that I did for a couple of Flash conferences. Some of the examples are still work in progress or just a proof of concept -- feel free to play around with the code, debug and/or add features. Looking forward to seeing this develop into an active community site -- if you're at all interested in extending the Flash IDE, make sure to get involved!

    At this years Multi-Mania we had an interesting panel discussion on open source Flash with Edwin van Rijkom, Christophe Herreman , Serge "Sergio" Jespers and myself -- excellently moderated by Aral Balkan. I've always considered myself a bit of an open source disciple though it might not have come across that way from the discussion (I blame it on the bouncy balls). In practical terms I use open source tools to help me with my development workflow not replace it. For example Eclipse as an ActionScript editor, AMFPHP as a Flash Remoting gateway, AsUnit for unit testing and occassionally the ARP framework and Screenweaver for building desktop applications.
