  • We have posted an executive presentation titled Delivering Results with Macromedia MX. It is good example of using video in Flash within a presentation format (notice how you can navigate through the presentation at the bottom).

    You can view it here.

  • Phillip Torrone, of all things flash on devices fame, has posted pictures and video clips of the recent Pocket PC Summit. The video clips include Phillip’s keynote, as well as highlights of my session about Flash on the Pocket PC. You can view a video here.

    On a related note, Bill Perry has made available his Flash based Pocket PC Summit event guide. You can download it from here.

    Update : Robert Hall has also posted some photos, and well as pointing out the Flash site for Iron Chef Japan’s restaurant.

  • The Flash community has been getting pretty excited about Flash and RSS lately. The latest (and greatest?) is Phil Chung’s RSS Flash News feed viewer. Wow, this is really nice, and makes it simple to scan a lot of information.

    Here are my feature requests:

    • Once the XML is loaded, cache the data so if I click to another feed and come back it doesn’t have to reload.
    • When viewing one feed, load in the others and cache them.
    • Have it check for new feeds every 15 minutes.
    • Have a section that will show the top two items from every feed.
    • Add mesh on mx (rss)!

    Again, this is very nice, and is something that I could see myself using to keep up with all of the Flash weblogs.

  • Just a quick note on the Macromedia XML Resource Feed contest. The contest is over, and we received some really cool entries. We will be posting the winners on the site early next week.

    Watch the contest page for the results.

  • Flash Enabled has released an app and its source FLA from the Flash Enabled : Flash Design and Development book. This one is a phone dialer app created by Christian Cantrell, that shows how to persist data in Flash on the Pocket PC using JScript.

  • Couple of articles on components today:

    • Branden Hall rants (his words not mine) about the lack of understanding of the functionality and complexity of components.
    • David Doull discusses components and the advantages they offer to Flash developers
