In addition to the first session I was already scheduled to do, I am now doing a second session. I am honored that FF would have me speak twice at the same conference. Both sessions are going to be very informative and interesting. I know that you will come away excited with material you’ll want to implement into your current projects! In our local users group, Tyler Wright and myself have been going over some of the material and it has gotten great reviews. Below are the sessions I will be covering: (Read on …)

Well, I thought to myself that this wouldn’t be the first time I have hacked my way around what was “official”. But to my surprise, this time they weren’t kidding. LocalConnection IS the only way to communicate.

So in an effort to make my life and everyone else out there who live in the real world and know that Flash 8 SWFs and lower are not going away, I started dinking around with creating a common API to handle this inconvenience. (Read on …)
