    Take a closer look at RoboDemo and RoboHelp

    Join us at the March Atlanta Macromedia User Group meeting to meet
    Michael Hamilton, RoboHelp Product Manager. Michael will be showing off
    products that have recently been brought into the Macromedia family. If
    you haven’t had a chance to take a look at these products, they are
    pretty impressive.

    Take a few minutes to get aquainted:
    ? RoboHelp X5 (http://www.macromedia.com/software/robohelp/)
    ? RoboDemo 5 (http://www.macromedia.com/software/robodemo/)

    This is an exciting opportunity for everyone to get to know these new
    products directly from a Product Manager (which does not happen very
    often!) so tell your friends and coworkers that they should attend,
    too!

    Contact Leif if there are any questions

  • Central: Slow Burn = Lack of Research & Vision

    *** Just brought my site back online; she’s still got some holes, but any problems, let me know. ***

    Last week’s take on this Central article.

    Read on for rant…

  • AS1 version of EventDispatcher

    Don’t know if I’m allowed to post, so rather than be sorry later, I’ll just explain what I did as it’s pretty easy to repeat.

    Manager needed to compile app last week, so I had to convert all the AS2 to AS1. The main issue was EventDispatcher… <strike>he</strike> she was written in a pattern/manner that I was not familiar with. So, I just started hacking to see what worked.

    I first put everything on _global, instead of the functions in a class definition. Since the majority of the methods were static (Singleton’ish?), I just put those methods straight on the classes, AS1 style (_global.EventDispatcher.initialize).

    Second, I deleted all the first 4 lines in the initialize function.

    So far, <strike>she</strike> he works great!

  • Live Meeting

    Dude, I saw this on TV last night as a commercial, amongst other goofy arse Office commercials. However, the Live Meeting one was pretty cool. If Microsoft is spending this much marketing dough on <a href=”http://office.microsoft.com/home/office.aspx?assetid=FX010909711033&CTT=6&Origin=ES790020011033″>Live Meeting</a>, I can see why Macromedia made <a href=”http://www.macromedia.com/software/breeze/”>Breeze</a>/Breeze Live. With globalization now a process & streamlining initiative for companies, it only makes sense that enabling products and services to empower them to do so shall follow.

    …I just wish my place in the Flash ecosystem was more so that I could contribute. Let us hope that the Breeze API + Pods are an area in which I/we can do that.
