Macromedia do use their own tools to promote "finished" software. The Studio8 online campaign was fantastic along with others i'm sure.
What you all will be seeing on the 17th is a public "ALPHA" build of the FLEX 2.0 suite. This is the first time they have ever done something like this so quickly, so its all new territory. Who knows what they will do in terms of marketing behind this.
The next gen FLEX suite is going to absorb millions more developers then their currenlty is available now. It will most likely done by word of mouth or show & tell...
Again, alpha... not even beta yet.

Chris,
I'm really surprised that a company such as Macromedia won't use it's own
technology to get out the word. Doesn't it make more sense to use streaming
video to get the word out? I mean really, a media company that refuses to
use its resources...BTW - unless MM decides to send all of us poor slobs
from the US to Australia for the conference, I guess "be there or be..."
just doesn't apply.
Nice to know what's going on....
James
