Re: [Flashcoders] Return of the Blue Lego
Thats great.. Weird thing though, when I went to that link the first time on my iPhone, it took me to a different adobe page that said it couldn't pull up the url because of too many redirects and then took me to download flash. I had to hit back and touch the blue lego about three times before it showed that apple message you made. FYI. I am on a 2G iPhone with 3.1OS.
