Software, Fitness, and Gaming – Jesse Warden

Came back from my trip to find that one of my collegues was given a gift of good news. Since I’m a loser, I wandered about government sites until finding my way to MM’s homepage. Won’t their referrer’s be whacked now. Anyway, saw a download link for what I thought was Central, but was really Contribute. Ignoring that as a sign to go to bed, I ventured over to the Central App Dev Center to lament some more. Found an <a href=”http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/central/articles/how_it_works.html”>article</a> describing how Central will work. I liked how he said not to use _root. Pretty neat to know that your app is loaded into a _level. Helps you start thinking on how your app will work with the rest of the crew of apps it’ll be sitting next to.

Am I the only one who’s not done with Flash MX? With Central coming down the pipe, and Royale soon after, I’m constantly losing time.

I agree with Phillip’s comment, but then again, a CEO has to lace his words with marketing to entice peeps. Still, after the initiali argument on that one MM peeps blog about “taking away the timeline!?”, I still keep hope that I can switch to design mode while in Royale at any time. Not saying I know certain things *ahem* but I sure hope I can play both worlds of developement while in Royale. Designing and Coding.

I know it’s a must, though. I’ve heard more complaints in all levels of skillset message boards and lists about how programmers hate the timeline bs. *sigh* I mean, Director did ok. Hell, it had multi-threading on it’s multiuser server! I’m sure it will be phat, I guess I am just lamenting my lost innocence.
