Adobe just announced the Flex 3 and Adobe AIR betas which can both be downloaded from the Adobe Lab. This is a big thing since it seemed like Apollo (now AIR) was slowing down but this should change that quickly.
If you happen to have an app you would like to show off head on over to CodeApollo and post it. Once I get some free time I will post up some examples and some articles on Scriptplayground.
Once again here is the download links: Adobe AIR, Flex 3 and Flash Player 9 Update
Just got an email from my friend Colin which said he is going to be a speaker at Flash Forward. This time around it is being held in Boston.. and you know I won’t be missing it. The conference overall looks like a great one and I look forward to attending these great sessions, it is going to take great skill in order to plan the classes I want to attend.
Adobe just releasing the CS3 Suite not too long ago will prove to be very interesting since I am almost positive the focus will be Actionscript 3, as it should be.
I will be posting updates from the show and also an overall review once I get back. For that matter I actually have a few great conferences and trips coming up in the coming months. Photoshop World in Vegas, Flash Forward in Boston and PhotoPlus Expo in New York.. this should be a year packed with a lot of conferences and a lot of photo-ops.
The details are starting to come out for Flash on the Beach 07 and it is really looking like a great conference. It may be hard to imagine flying to another country for a conference, but from what I have read and heard it is well worth it.
The pricing is very affordable, however I haven’t seen any deals on hotels.. but of course it is still early. They have also implemented a few different ticket types, one of which offers companies to share the pass so everyone can get a chance to attend.
I am hoping to make it out there and would hope others can do the same. How many of you will be or are thinking about attending?
I haven’t had any free time to wirte anything and do apologize for that. However I have some projects that I am working on, one of which is my updated website built 100% of Flash modules. That in itself isn’t huge news but the twist to this update is once completed all of the source code (excluding security and server modules) will be made publically available. Stay tuned for further updates.
In other news:
Update: Bridge CS3 beta 2 updater released on January 18, 2007.
The quote says it all, Bridge CS3 beta was updated. This isn’t BREAKING NEWS but I still find it very cool what Adobe is doing this time around. Of course you can also get the Photoshop CS3 Public Beta (valid CS2 serial number required).
Update: Archive of presentation online
Update 2: Presentation Source Files
Last night I presented an online session on how to create a Flash shoutbox powered by PHP/MySQL. I took the time to explain the entire process, how to set it up and how to build on it past the basics.
The archive of the presentation will be online soon and once it is I will add a link for others to enjoy/benefit from. I will also be uploading all of the code used in the presentation to follow along with and extend past the basic implementation.
A nice little fact about last nights meeting: It was the largest attendance.
This was my second presentation at LA Flash online, my first one being a video on the Tween Class in Flash 8.
The next time I present I will be sure to add some advanced notice for others to view.
