Flash Player Bug Database

More officially: Adobe Flash Player Bug and Issue Management System

A repository for developers to submit and review known issues. My favorite part is “Steps to Reproduce”.

X vs. O; Seminar Source

I just wrapped up my seminar for Adobe Developer Week 2008. While there was no cat killing bunny rabbit this time around, I did create a number of small exciting demo applications for Flash developers to start to get their hands dirty with Adobe AIR.

For those of you that did attend, I hope you enjoyed it and that you see that it takes very little effort to get started with AIR. And that AIR is very powerful. And can be very fun.

As soon as I have a link to the recording of the seminar I’ll supply it.

UPDATE
You can see the recording of the session here. Registration may be required. Sorry about the poor audio in the beginning…

How did I solve this issue?! Well I didn’t… sort of.

Adobe, Make Some Noise

André Michelle, Joa Ebert and Kai-Philipp Schöllmann have created the Adobe, Make Some Noise campaign with the ultimate goal of convincing Adobe to give some more love to sound manipulation in Actionscript. Definitely a noble cause, as it seems that with all the advances Actionscript 3 brought with it, sound functionality seems to have taken a step backwards .. or at least been left behind.
