Director 9/MX right around the corner

Director MX should be just months away. I have a feeling that it will be announced during DevCon 2002. Looking forward to seeing information about how it integrates into Flash MX and the rest of the MX family. I suspect it will be called Director MX and join the MX family. (Or maybe I should rather say, I hope).

Why am I so sure its right around the corner? Because Macromedia is already talking about it, which usualy means its a couple of months away.

Flash ActionScript Standard Library

Another cool project signed Mike Chambers is the ActionScript Standard Library (ASL), a new open source project opened at Sourceforge

The project homepage says:

The ActionScript Standard Library is a collection of ActionScript classes and libraries that aims to create and provide a standard library of functionality to ActionScript.

If you want to join the development team, you can send an email to one of the admins. There is also a developers' mailinglist which you can subscribe to. Nice to see there is a strong core developer group already, with Mike Chambers, Peter Hall, and Robert Penner.
