Just gotta point out the fantastic job <a href=”http://www.macromedia.com”>Macromedia</a> is doing handling this EOLAS bs. <a href=”http://www.markme.com/cantrell/”>Christian Cantrell</a> was laser striking every thread on <a href=”http://chattyfig.figleaf.com”>Flash Lounge</a>, informing of solutions, dispelling rumors, and informing of up and coming ways in which Macromedia is helping with other ways to deal with the changes.

I was wrong in my prediction of “<a href=”https://www.jessewarden.com/archives/000280.html”>nothing happening</a>”. Although nothing earthshattering took place, and we could be a lot worse off, there is still a lot of time and money people are spending to deal with these changes, now and in the future. Thanks Macromedia for being so professional about it!

Dude, you can drag a componet from a Flash MX Library, and drop it on the Flash Pro stage! Well that certainly helps when converting old shiot… ROCK!

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.

If so, <a href=”mailto:jesterxl@jessewarden.com?subject=DataBinding”>email me</a>.
