A couple of weeks ago, we put together a contest encouraging everyone to take advantage of the creative commons license the podcast is released under. We announced the winners in the latest podcast, and for your reading and listening pleasure they are also listed here:
If you are one of the winners, send me an email (mesh@macromedia.com) and I’ll send some cool stuff your way.
We have just posted the Third Macromedia Developer Relations podcast. Lots of good stuff in there including an interview with Mike Williams (engineer from the Flash Player team) about Flash version detection, Christian on History Management in RIAs, and some info on the new ExternalInterface API in Flash Player 8 (Maelstrom).
As we discuss in the podcast, the new ExternalInterface API in malestrom replaces the functionality of the Flash / JavaScript Integration kit, and provides seamless Flash / JavaScript communication.
Flash Player Public Beta
As you have probably already read on MXNA, we released a public beta of the next version of the Flash Player (code-named Maelstrom).
The goal of this public beta is to help us make sure that existing content continues to work as expected, and that the player is 100% backwards compatible. The goal is not to test new features.
Note that the beta is intended for developers and content creators, and not for end users (that is why the page is not linked from the download page).
Below are links to resources on how to add a view source menu to your Flash / Flex content:
I’ve posted this before, but I wanted to provide one post with all of the links.
Just a quick reminder but the entries for the Macromedia Podcast Remix / Mashup contest are due by next Monday.
There are already a couple of really good entries, but still time to submit one and try to win a sweet Flash Timbuk2 Messenger bag.
You can find more info on the contest, as well as submit your entries here.
The second Macromedia Developer Relations podcast is now available. You can find more info about the content, as well as download and listen to it from here.
UPDATE: You can download an archived version of the podcast from here
As I posted yesterday, Christian Cantrell and I just released the first Macromedia Developer Relations podcast. We weren’t sure how well it would come out or how well it would be received, and have been blown away by the positive response thus far (we are already working on the next one).
Anyways, as we mentioned in the podcast, we released the podcast under the following creative commons license:
Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike License
Of course, it is no fun releasing under a creative commons license unless someone takes advantage of it. So, to help spur that, we are having a contest for the best mashup / creative use of the podcast.
You may have seen this yesterday, but Christian Cantrell and I have put together the first Macromedia Developer Relations Podcast. It is 30 minutes of pure Macromedia geek, and covers the latest news and happenings around Macromedia technologies.
This podcast covers a number of topics, including an interview with Mark Anders, VP of engineering, working on Zorn, deep linking issues in RIAs, and the Flash / JavaScript Integration kit.
You can find a complete index of the show, as well as download the podcast from here.
