I’m not sure why this particular feature wasn’t given a bit more airplay, but this little tidbit from the new Introducing Adobe Flash CS3 Professional article got me slightly excited: Code editor enhancements include Script Assist mode for ActionScript 3.0 and the same compiler as Flex Builder. The same compiler as Flex Builder…? As in … Read more
I’ve just been watching the tours for a few of the new CS3 products and am wondering if anyone can shed some light on what components are included in Flash CS3?
The list I have (and this is only taken from the product tour video) is:
Button
CheckBox
ColorPicker*
ComboBox
DataGrid
Label
List
NumericStepper
ProgressBar
RadioButton
ScrollPane
Slider*
TextArea
TextInput
TileList*
UILoader
UIScrollBar

I came to the realisation yesterday when I posted about Apollo that the spam protection I was using was actually stopping all visitors from leaving comments on my blog. I disabled it for about 12 hours and in that time watched the spam flow in. The solution: Math Comment Spam Protection Plugin Hopefully everyone’s elementary … Read more
Not one to get left out of the blogging frenzy at the moment, I thought I’d better add my $0.02 about the Apollo release… and I would except it doesn’t work on Win2K!!! So now Adobe want me to upgrade to Vista as well??? Would love to hear something from Adobe re: the final target … Read more
Seems the latest stats for December 2006 have just been published here
It’s interesting to see what a difference Russia, India and Taiwan have made to the December 2006 Flash 9 stats. In all other Flash versions for December 2006, the emerging markets lag behind the rest of the world for Flash installs. However, Flash 9 seems to be installed more regularly in the emerging markets that it is in the established markets. I’m sure there’s some whiz bang statistical terms I could be using here – but hopefully this conclusion will suffice: Indian’s love Flash 9. It’s great to see the emerging markets really getting on board with the installation of new technology, makes my life as a flash developer just that bit easier.

John Mayer closed the recent Macworld expo with the following comments: “Steve Jobs and Apple Inc. just make life more fun – it’s the exact opposite of terrorism.” (And yes I’m drawing a very long Apple iBow here 😉 Perhaps if … Read more
Firstly, let me wish all and sundry out there a very happy New Year! Hope you’ve got your resolutions down on paper, and have made a start on achieving them 🙂 I blogged earlier about the Flash auto-update not being enabled by the boffins at Adobe. Well it seems that it is now operational! On … Read more
I've finally gotten around to changing the name of my Macromedia bookmark to Adobe along with the URL it points to from macromedia.com to adobe.com So, it's official – Adobe's acquisition of Macromedia is finally complete 😉 [and now for something completely different…] I've been mucking about with bezier curves for a clients project, and … Read more
I'm not sure why this didn't make a bigger splash in the blogosphere, but I've just had a client of mine show me one of their designs in a pdf as a 3D model! You can rotate, pan, zoom and even change the lighting on the subject matter. Very cool stuff – and as far … Read more
So it's been nigh on two months since I first experienced a strange Firefox webservice issue. My previous post details what was going on with the converter application and it's seemingly non-cross platform behaviour. I've tried a few different things since my first post, including logging bug reports with Adobe (which got no feedback), posting … Read more
