Hi, Im trying to send an email to betapp_sp@macromedia.com, for the localized beta testing, but Im getting the delivery failure notification from macromedia. Is it not active yet ?
Thanks :)

Just curious: when does the beta start? So that if I don’t get selected, I’ll at least know that I wasn’t.

Hi, you guys will probably get lots of requests, of which you are going to pick beta testers.
I’d really love to test the 8Ball, because you will receive high quality testing and reviews from me, plus I’m really enthusiastic about it ! :)
Thanks

People, just visit the link Mike posted, posting on the comments and asking to be put in don’t do much. I bet they have a plethora of such requests.

I’ve applied for the beta program at least a couple of times a few months ago… do people now need to reapply or is everyone who’s ever requested to be on the beta still on the list? Thanks Mike.

Is there any way to apply as a company for the Beta Tests? I work in a small design company (6 full-time employees), and we all use Flash for design/development. It would be great to apply as a company for the Betas.

If you have already applied, you don’t need to reapply.

Hi Mike,
Several of my friends already received invitations for the 8Ball beta. Does that mean that those who will be participating in the beta have already been determined and contacted?
Thanks!

hehe… well, for starters it means that your friends have broken their NDA by letting you know they are on the beta.
We have multiple phases of our betas. not everyone is added at once.

Hi Mike,
There is a problem in a flash beta program survey in a question number 24. I can select multiple choice in a same raw for different options. I think it should be only one choice for one option.

Its been a few weeks since I applied for the beta programme on this url and no response yet. I guess lot of other applicants have the same profile as I have…but I do wish they would have a question in their which asked on how can I test the application better than others…
I work in a tv company and we use it a lot for video…I could have an edge in working out any bugs in that department since 8ball seems to have quite a bit of improvement there…anyways…

I’d love to get into the 8ball beta in anticipation of Central 2.0, and also my growing interest in Flex/Zorn. I’d like to see if 8ball fits the roadmap I have for the next generation of my Central apps. I’ve applied a couple of times before.

I’d like to ask a some-what related question if I could. I read somewhere that Flash is actually sharing code with Dreamweaver for this new version. Is there any info out on Dreamweaver mx2005 yet? I cant seem to find anything. The idea of the 2 apps working to make some kind of real IDE is very exciting to me. I only hope they allow CSV or even better [b]Subversion integration[/b]. [i]Any info at all would be appreciated![/i] :) I would love to be on the beta for either program, but especially Flash.
