This is exactly how we imagined it works, as it was the only normal way… I am a bit worried about Flash apps without states, how the crawled goes through that stuff.
Anyway let’s see how much we’re going to wait for this to be implemented by Google and rest…

Flash Structure Creator – Flash extension panel for automatic folder structure and file creation
Extension panel is driven by xml schema, which can be customized to fit specific project requirements. It automatically creates fla, html, css and javascript files defined in the schema. It also includes swfobject 2.1 and swfaddress 2.2 by default.
Using this extension can effectively streamline new project creation work flow. It only takes a few clicks to achieve which usually takes hours to recreate, duplicate or customize from previous projects.
guys from Another Flash User Group Singapore created this Extension panel for their needs but it can certainly be useful for other Flash people…

The Actionscript Conference Overview + slides from presentation
Weeks after The Actionscript Conference in Singapore I can sum up all good things we’ve got and experienced there. TAC was event organized by Flex User Group Singapore. FUG Singapore is focus on Actionscript, Flex and Flash and other related services and server-side technologies. This was a first conference I’ve attended and spoke at, so I surely cannot be objective enough, but I think that most of the speakers and attendees would agree TAC was a huge success.
At the start of the conference Hu Shunjie talked about Passion. Nice way to present actionscript community. It really relies on passion and inspiration from the very beginning and it feels strong even 10 years later.
In series of presentations of really great speaker line-up attendees could hear and see a lot of new Flash Player 10 features (Lee Brimelow), API references, Web Services, AIR developement (Marco Casario, Peter Elst).
PowerFlasher team had great presentation about their FDT Actionscript IDE. Micheal Plank demonstrated powerfull FDT features and speedcoding which gives you freedom. Micheal had great workshop also day before conference, demonstrating workflow that FDT makes possible using ANT compiling, SWC and SWF linking and a lot more…
Mohammed Khan had only presentation that was more design oriented. It was very good to hear a little introspective in designer developer workflow in Flex and where it should be in time that comes.
Prayank Swaroop presented BlazeDS, server-based Java remoting and web messaging technology. It is free solution and seems to me more and more used in Flex project because of it.
Most amazing presentation was given by Stefan Wessels, a Flash Lite guru. He presented Flash Lite from the perspective of the Darth Vader and the dark side. Seems like Flash Lite really inspires and through his inspirational talk he invited as to join the dark side, creating Flash Lite content, which is not so widespread…
I gave my presentation at the end of the day. I am not sure how it looked like but from my point of view I would be happy if people could remember few important things that connects Flash Platform and Socialnetworking. Flash is great platform for developing, present at more than 90% of internet enabled devices. It is fairly easy and cost-free platform. It support all socialnetworking interactions but lacks in SEO and semantic web which will mean a lot in future. My slides are available at SlideShare

Interviews with some of the speakers
Great news is that preparation for next TAC has already started. Organisers should consider 2 days instead of one, so people can talk more, and focus more on speeches. Anyway, this was a boost I hope for Singapore Actionscript community which I am proud to be a part of.

The Actionscript Conference – My topic : Flash and Socialnetworking
The Actionscript Conference is coming soon. It will be held this week starting at Friday 17th till Sunday 19th which is main day of conference. As I’ve already mentioned, in its first issue, speaker list is great, Lee Brimelow, Peter Elst, Marco Casario, Stefan Wessels, Michael Plank, Prayank Swaroop and latest Grant Staker, and me.
I will be speaking on a topic that is very interesting Flash and Socialnetworking. Socialnetworking is at it’s peak now, or peak is yet to come but SNS (Social Networking Services) are in rise. In fact whole web is moving toward socially organised internet users and information exchanged between them. That should lead us (slowly for now) towards semantic web.
So how does Flash (Flash / Flex / AIR / Flash Lite) plays in this game. Is it enough to be widget, media and gaming platform in a world to come. We all know the strong sides of Flash, but does flash goes well with SEO and semantic web? what it needs to do to stand up to the role we all actionscripters and rich internet experience lovers would like?
Please post your oppinion on anything you have in mind for this topic, it will be valuable addition and will surely make a better content for the speech.
Thanks in advance!

MouseControl AS2 class update – added Mac mouse wheel and scrolling area support
In my previous release of this class MouseControl class – easy adding of mouse scroll wheel capability to Flash (AS2.0)
.
This release is bringing some nice additions,
like possibility of adding a Rectangle area that if mousewheel is used there trigger an assigned function…
example:
mouseControl.addScrollArea(“rect”, new Rectangle(100, 100, 100, 200), Delegate.create($class, traceRect));
where “rect” is id of scrollArea – used for removing a scroll area
second is rectangle parametar for scroll area
third is a function to call on mouse wheel
whole class is now relying on MacMouseWheel class from pixelbreaker
