A lot of things happening with the new Flash 6 player, amongs the good news is that the next version of the Flash 6 player will be available for Linux. To quote Mike Chambers: This is a very big release, with quite a few bug fixes, new features (wider WMODE support, custom request headers, etc…) and performance optimizations. Nice also to see better support for the Mozilla browser. Flashmagazine.com writes: Windowless mode is now supported on Netscape (Win) and OSX browsers. This primarliy is used for those highly annoying adverts […]

More ways to stay updated in general. Google has been in beta for a while with their new News search service. Now its really starting to cook having added more than 4000 news sources, and is challenging a lot of other news gathering services. So now it shold be even easier to stay updated on the lastest Macromedia Flash News

Its only a short while ago since Jeremy Allaire launched his own weblog based on Radio (are we seeing an acquisition of Userland, the makers of Radio in the future for Macromedia?). Now he has really gotten on the blogging bandwagon with his new Audio Blogger web service (documentation for Audio blogger is currently found on Jeremy’s weblog). Its in alpha right now, but seems to be working quite well – taking advantages of the Flash Communication server. Audio Blogger allows anyone with Flash 6, and a microphone to make

Nice to see another one of my friends get on with the blogging. This time around its Bill Spencer (helped by some of his friends) that have released a new Flash/3D related Flash blog: The 3D Flash blog Good choice to use MT I think :-)

Nice to see new Flash related weblogs popping up. TodayI noticed that Jeremy Allaire has gotten his own weblog. I have been fortunate enough to be allowed to interview Jeremy a few times. Last time we did a video interview for Flashmagazine.com. But we haven’t been able to release the video on the net – because we don’t have the money to cover the bandwidth. The previous interview I did with Jeremy back in 2001 is still available online. Its scaring how point on I was with many of my

Nice to see that the fund raising for Chris turned out good. Chris has now more or less received the $1250 he needed to be able to attend the Macromedia DevCon. (Check the initial posting if you are interested in the background for the fund raising) Chris has promised that he will be making the speech available online. Either as just plain speakers notes, or perhaps published together with audio from the speech. I hope he decides to include audio recording from the speech – I am sure that would

Macromedia has released a very interesting kit today, the Macromedia MX Developer Resource Kit (DRK) The DRK is a CD containing articles, contents, resources and components for Flash, Dreamweaver and ColdFusion Developers. And it sells for $99 U.S. dollars. It contains the following Flash Related content: Datagrid Component Media Player Components Flash UI Component Set 3 – Loading Box – Advanced Messages Box – Prompt Box – Tool Tip – Tool Tip Light Flash Email Services Library Flash ActionScript library that uses Flash Remoting to easily send and retrieve email

Its looking good, Chris MacGregor was having problems finding the money to attend the Macromedia DevCon conference to be held in Florida in October, but now he has already collected half of the $1250 he needs to be able to attend the conference. I would have liked to see Macromedia spend some more money on the speakers and cover the costs for them, but failing that its good to see that the commnity is getting together and helping one of its hard working members. Even more gratifying is it to

My rant about the poor way Macromedia is treating the speakers at their 1000 dollar DevCon conference received a lot of attention. Especially the call to boycott the event, and my complaints about Jakob charging extra for his session. Well, as you may all have seen, I didn’t have all the facts straight. Jakob is having his own mini-conference before the event. I should have checked my facts a little better before ranting – and for that I apologize. I feel the focus was shifted from what I felt was

Macromedia has started their signup for the Flash 6 player beta for Linux. Mike writes that they are looking for people that are going to bang on the player and find any issues. If you are a Linux person interested in Flash, send them an e-mail to let them know you are interested. No date for the release of the beta of final version of the player, but it seems like it should be just around the corner. [Via: Mike Chambers]
