Well, it is the first day after a long holiday (in the US), and if you are like me, it is hard getting back into the flow of things. So, check out the new StrongBad email. It won’t help you get back into the flow, but at least it will be an entertaining 3 minutes of procrastination.

We just launched a new section of our website titled ondemand. The section features demos and seminars geared toward users evaluating our products. These are useful for quickly learning about products that you may not be as familiar with, or to learn some new functionality in products that you use every day.
I am really excited about these seminar, as I think they have enormous potential for making the learning curve for learning new tools and software much shorter.
Just a quick FYI. Today is a holiday in the US, and Macromedia offices are closed.
Also, sorry for the lack of updates last week. I have been working on a couple of projects which have taken up a lot of my time. More details very soon…
Colin Moock has written an article on creating forms using Flash MX, and having them be submitted when the user presses the enter key.
You can read the entire article here.
Just a quick FYI. We are currently running a promotion where if you buy Studio MX, you get $100 off. This applies to the full and upgrade versions.
It might be a good way to pick up Studio MX, and then use it to upgrade to a DevNet Pro Subscription.
The discount will show up when you add Studio to your shopping cart.
We have released some new Flash content and resources at the Macromedia DevNet Center. This release has a couple of articles on the Data Connection Kit and the new Flash Detection Kit.
As usual, you can view a complete list of the new articles at MXNA.
Marcos Weskamp has put together a very cool application that monitors and reports on which tools / software he is using on his computer. It uses Flash MX, Screenweaver and Flash Communication server.
He then has a Flash movie on his website which keeps track of the results. Really cool stuff.
You can find more information here.
