Greg Burch has a great tip when developing Flash Remoting apps: Debug Flash Remoting outside the IDE (yet in it at the same time) I build smaller remoting components that hook into a very large system. And it is nearly impossible to get that whole system running and kept up to date to test my small pieces. So I noticed that as long as I leave NetDebug.as included in my little pieces that if I have the IDE open and the NetConnection Debugger panel open it will catch Flash remoting […]

What I like with Mario’s Quasimondo blog and his projects, is that he lets us follow his process while he is developing his Flash apps. Now he has gotten even closer to finishing the Amazon Explorer in his part 4. Its fun to see parts of his other Flash projects implemented with the Amazon Explorer, like his “Flash Connection” app. I wouldn’t be surprised if he makes available the source code for the Amazon explorer too, as soon as he is ready with it.

In case you haven’t noticed. The cool stuff to thinker with right now is the Flash Communication Server. And there is a lot of stuff going on. A couple of new forums for Flash Communication Server: Flash Communication Server Mail List (run by Branden Hall) Flash MX Backend Communications Web Forum at Ultrashock And Mike Chambers is planning some cool testing of cool stuff (Flash Communication Server) on his cool blog tomorrow. He needs your help, and its going to be… neat ;-) [Mike Chambers]

Nice to see the Flash 6 player taking off in the latest Media Metrix viewability audit. More than 30% coverage in all of the regions. [Via John Dowdell]

This is probably the coolest Flash site I have seen in a looooooooooong while. (That is not saying little, with all the cool sites around right now) Who’s We Design Studios has made a killer 3D Flash site. The only problem I see with the site is that at times is incredibly heavy (it sometimes loads like a snail on my DSL line) [Via Eric Dolecki]

David Dull has written an interesting article about the pros and cons of the technology exposed by the Flash communication server, titled: Flash Communications: New server, new possibilities I thought it might be worth speculating on what new possibilities this creates for us flash developers and whether this will be the bright new future of the web or if it will never get used and disappear like generator. NB: this isn’t a how-to or coding article, just my thoughts, speculations and ideas

Phillip Kerman has made a killer Flash answering machine. Its based on Flash MX and the Flash Communication Server. You can leave a message with either text, video and/or audio. Forget guestbooks, this IS the killer homepage application with Flash MX ;-)
