The boyz from the UK and I were gonna post an April Fool’s joke about the Flash Player in our blogs over the course of April 1st. However, people responsible for the community thought it was a problem, so I now post with this disclaimer header.

Reading <a href=”http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/jd_forum/jd027.html”>JD’s article</a> on <a href=”http://www.macromedia.com”>MM’s site</a> about Macromedia Central. Something that I thought, to me, was the most interesting thing of the article was the section titled <b>Playing nice with other apps</b> on his questions section. There is a quote in that paragraph talking about how your movie could run slow because of another movie taking all the resources (120fps, for loops running in a 0 millsecond interval with updateAfterEvent).

“…The ‘politeness’ of the first year’s tools may have a big effect on how popular the overall technology becomes…”

A ton of opinions…

When I see the new Macromedia Central logo, even though it does follow the design style of the rest of the their products, I still think of:
– TRON
– Sci Fi Channel
– WipeoutXL

I swear, dude, most of my apps made for that will be free. BTW, here are some links from Bryan Rice posted on <a href=”http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?1:mss:68414″>Flashcoders</a>.
