The RegExp Parser Class for Flash 5/Flash MX is a cool extra feature. Kind of strange that Macromedia never included something like this. According to Branden Hall its fast too (and he should know). I haven’t had the chance to try it out myself yet. [Via Branden Hall]

Mario keeps proving that he knows how to use the new cool features of Flash MX, and the equally cool features of the Google API with his Google API Flash banner He is using it on all the stories on the frontpage of Quasmindo.com, kind of scary that I am the only search result associated with the story about “the search for Quasimodo”. :-) Mario has made the full source code for the Google API Flash banner available, great job Mario! I have been contemplating including it on my own

Claus has launched his own weblog. I miss commenting, permalinks and an RSS feed, not to mention a way to see when the various posting actually was posted (time and date would have been great), aside from the nitpicking this weblog is sure to become an interesting resource. Claus has some interesting projects going, like Deng CSS/XHTML parser and the jpeg2swf converter [Via FlashGuru]

Mario Klingemann is continuing his project with mapping his visitors in Flash MX, now he has added the location of the last 20 visitors, cool to be able to see where the previous visitors came from, and it shows off how powerfull Flash is as a frontend for these kind of applications. BTW: Mario has promised that once he is done with the mapping system, he will release the source code :-) (See the previous posting – “Find out where you are” for more details)

Software tweaks seems to be the solution to the reported lack of extra speed in Pocket PCs with Intel’s newest XSscale processor. ZDNet reports that “Several vendors, including Microsoft (with Windows Media Player), Macromedia, Real Networks and video decoder maker Packet Video, have said they will optimise for XScale.”. Which promises faster multimedia on new XScale powered devices such as Fujitsu-Siemens Loox and Toshiba E740 [Via Greg Burch]

Matt Rice has made a cool Flash MX and VoiceXML based Tic Tac Toe game. So far my attempts to use the services at 1-800-555-Tell to connect to the game hasn’t been successful – but I am sure it will be fixed soon. BTW: When you do call 1-800-555-Tell (1-800-555-8355). remember to ask for “Extentions”. Took me a while to figure out that is where I wanted to go to dial in the number Matt provides on the game page. Its really cool to see these kind of implementations of

Mario Klingemann has made a cool Flash frontend to show where you are. Pretty nifty huh – just in case you are somewhere in the world, with your laptop, and don’t have a clue where you are located. :-) Its based on a PHP backend that checks your IP address against the NetGeo database to get your location data, and then plot it on a map. Seems to work fairly well. At least it said that I am in Oslo, Norway – which is right. I did a little research,
