Flash Resources

This week Adobe has discussed the release of scripting engine source code (AVM2) to the Mozilla Foundation. Its called the Tamarin project. Read more about it on JD on EP and on mozilla.org.

If you haven’t built in your own debugging system for testing flash in browsers, then this Firefox FlashTracer extension could prove to be very useful. It allows you to see traces made from inside your swfs. Handy indeed!

Also, as a point of flash developer literacy its worthwhile to check out the latest Flash player penetration stats from Adobe. Current as of last month. The Flash player 9 already has over 35% penetration in mature markets and over 40% in the US and Canada. Pretty impressive considering the Flash 9 IDE isn’t even out yet.
