Couple of items relating to weblogs about Flash on devices.
If you are looking for a book on Flash on devices, check out Flash Enabled : Flash Design and Development for Devices (i am a co-author), as well as the soon to be released Flash the Future.
This is just a quick update to the post i made last Tuesday on the Flash MX Certified Developer exam. We have updated the site with a chart showing the classes leading up to the exams. Of course, the classes are not required but they can give you an idea of the skill set needed for the exams.
So, this leads me to the question of the day (or week):
What do you think of the Macromedia Flash Certification Exams? Do you plan to take them? Why or why not?
Sorenson has released a new version of Sorensen Squeeze for Flash MX . The new version fixes some problems and adds some new features including:
The download is available here (registration required).
You can find more info on squeeze here.
We have published a new tutorial about localizing Flash movies using Macromedia Flash MX. This tutorial covers the entire localization process using Macromedia Flash MX. Topics include Unicode support in the authoring tool and Macromedia Flash Player 6, strategies and recommended practices to prepare your files for localization and use with translation memory software, and analysis of a sample file that loads external XML files containing five different languages.
You can view the tutorial here.
Well, last week was the “What do you want in the next version of Flash question”. Since things are still pretty quiet this week, here is a new question:
What new components would you like to see made available?
FYI : We will be making a DataGrid component available very soon, so you don’t have to list that.
Post your thoughts in the comments section.
Flog, one of my favorite aggregators for Flash news feeds, has been updated. In addition to aggregating all of the XML news feeds from all of the Flash related weblogs, it will also list any Macromedia related new from Google.
However, the coolest feature, is that you can sign up and have the latest news emailed to you every morning. This is a very good way to make sure that you keep on top of what is going on the the Flash world.
This is an open letter to whoever keeps sending e-mail to wish-flash@macromedia.com advertising illegal cracked versions of our products (Flash MX, Dreamweaver MX, etc…) for sale.
Thank you, but we already have legal copies.
If it is not too much trouble, please send your inquiries to tip@macromedia.com, as that will save us some time forwarding your email (they will be very interested in your “business”).
Btw, if you are looking for a Flash MX Crack, or Dreamweaver MX Crack, then just send a request here.
We have put up demo versions of some of the Flash Applications used for the Macromedia DevCon 2002 registration.
Now you can check them out without registering first. They are pretty good example of some of the advantages of using Flash for this type of form based application.
Also, don’t forget that early bird registration for DevCon end son August 27th. If you register before then, you can save $155. I will be at the conference talking about Flash Remoting and Flash Security.
I was just looking through the Flash Communication Server support center and came across a couple of useful technotes that i wanted to highlight. So here they are:
Some useful information. As usual, its a good idea to periodically check the support centers for new technotes and information. It should also be the first place to look / search when you run into a problem.
You may have noticed that I have removed the chat window from the top of the page. I am trying to get my main page to load a little quicker so i removed it (I will be optimizing other parts of the page soon).
You can still access the full page chat here.
Also, expect some major changes to the chat here in the next week or so.
