Just wanted to add another cool benefit/feature of Central that I’ve found in just the past week. It has made it very easy for my fellow developers and I to share apps. I’ve found I just leave Central always running now, alerts or not, cause I always have some new app to try, or a not-so-new one to look over again; like loading in the new blog entries to John’s RSS reader.
It’s so easy to play with someone else’s app, too. I just click some install link, and after a dialogue, poof, it gets installed in Central. Usually, they send me a link to the source, too. Finally, if I ever want to see it again, I don’t have to search my hard drive for it, open the FLA in Flash, and compile… I just tab back to Central, and there it is!
So, it’s not just for users. Making it easier for developers to share ideas and work is just fantastic!
…besides, <a href=”https://www.jessewarden.com/archives/000072.html”>I’ve said</a> that Central’s TRON’ish looking icon is my favorite in the whole MX line, so it looks phat on my taskbar next to my clock.
How do you add apps to Central?
I honestly have no idea….do you simply klick and swf link, and say “add” ?
> How do you add apps to Central?
1. File > Install Application From URL (enter the path to the product.xml file for the application).
2. Use the Application Finder (not available yet) – just like the Macromedia Exchange, one click install.
3. Download from the web, probably the developers website. They’ll provide an installer that uses the fp6r65s+ built in Central install mechanism to install the app.
Thx for that info – where can I find information on how the product.xml should be structured
All in good time young Jedi.

What a beta good for, if I cant play around with it!
