We have launched a ton of new Flash content on the Designer and Developer center at macromedia.com.
This releases’ focus and highlight is the new:

We also launched a new Sample Application:
Just a quick heads up that you only have a couple of more days to submit content for the Interaction 2003 Flash contest being held by ericd.
There are tons of prizes, including DRKs, Sorenson Squeeze, and an autographed copy of FlashEnabled that is sure to be a collectors edition!
You can view the contest site here.
Mike Williams is looking for some more input from Flash developers. Today he is asking about experience and how tools can help or hinder collaboration between designers and developers.
How do you as Internet designers and developers feel tools can address the issue of working better together? What frameworks appeal to you and how do you think they translate to Flash design and development?
You can view the entire thread, and post your comments here.
Just a quick note, you can submit your email address to the site, and be notified whenever I post new announcements, news or information from Macromedia. You can subscribe using the form on the right of the page (under the search form).
Again, I only plan to use it for new news and announcements from Macromedia.
Today in the U.S. is a holiday in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. The Macromedia offices are closed, and thus you may not see as many weblog updates, or Macromedia people posting in the community.
Everyone will be back tomorrow.

Full as Goog has had a bunch of updates this weekend. They added a number of new weblogs, and are publishing aggregated XML RSS feeds.
You can find more info on the specific updates here and visit the site here.
You can view all of the latest news in the Macromedia / Flash / ColdFusion / Dreamweaver worlds here.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite aggregators.
A couple of people have noticed that I am hosting MovableType on a ColdFusion server and having MovableType generate ColdFusion Templates, and wanted to know how I did it.
It is actually pretty simple. In the Blog Config > Preferences section of the MT admin tool, simply set the File extension for archive files setting to “cfm” Then, in the templates section, makes sure that all of your templates are set to output cfm and not html files.
O’Reilly has posted an article on calling webservices from Flash via Flash Remoting. They use the Amazon webservices as an example.
Consuming Amazon with Flash Remoting
BTW, I know the title sounds a little weird, but it is O’Reilly’s title, not mine.
