Branden’s Components Rant

flash / By

I think Branden’s intro is a good enough reference to his Components Rant: Time to let off some steam here… I keep seeing folks say that the built in Flash MX components are too complex, bloated, and that it’s better to just roll your own. I am even seeing some relatively smart folks spouting this kind of ignorant junk! And that’s exactly what it is, junk…. Read the rest of the rant at Branden’s blog

Fight the CBDTPA

news from the web / By

The Electronic Frontier Foundation Action Center has chosen to use Flash to make a fun animation about the CBDTPA, but the issue is serious enough. Big media corporations are trying to take away ownership from the consumers and make you and me pay for every single version of a digital work we consume. Imagine having to pay 4 times to have the same song on a CD, your MP3 player, your own CD-compilation for the car and on your computer. That is what Disney and others in reality is trying

28th of may was/is (depending on where on the globe you are when I am posting this) my birthday. I have turned 29 for the third time. (Ok, so I am 32 ;-) I hope you don’t take offence, but I thought I would be a little weasel and suggest that you could send me a dollar or two as a birthday gift. I’ll use the money to buy a book or two, and send some more money to other resource sites I appreciate. You can send the money by

But there is one thing that I can’t understand, the download or a link to the download of the Pocket PC 2002 Flash player can’t be found anywhere on Macromedia’s site. You would expect it to be found on the Macromedia Flash Player 5 for Pocket PC
