[Flashcoders] Adobe Web Site Response (or Lack Thereof)

2006-06-27 Thread Kevin Mulvihill
Hi folks, I think I'm kinda patient. Less patient than some, but more so than others. And I noticed that, right around the time the Adobe acquisition of Macromedia really got rolling a few months ago, the web site response and download speed of the Macromedia site declined significantly. I

John, always a pleasure to hear from you. Reminds me of the ol' Direct-L days... I'm out of town the next few weeks so won't have much of a chance for further testing, but your suggested 'stuff for reproduction' is a good idea. I'll approach it from that perspective next time. During this last

I would echo Jason's comments. It's not really an impressive site: hard to see, gratuitous music, UI needs some work, and even the 3D rotation is jerky. I really hope you're just referring to this site because you plan to do better. BTW, I really hate the arrogance of programmers who presume to

$11/ hr accepting that is part of the reason why people think they can pay developers peanuts Here, here. Denver is a big city comparable to L.A., where I am. And in this city, bag boys at grocery stores are making $11/hr. Even way back in '97 when I was in my last corporate job, it was

2. Is there a build tool I can use to setup a centralized, automated build process? Java has JAnt, .NET has NAnt, etc. Is there one for Flash? Per the e-mail below it looks like there is. yes, you can use ant, it works very well with mtasc as a compiler. look at these tools for more

Oh, I hate to write an email like this, but I just keep wishing that all the emails from this user group would just go away... And they don't. There's another one today. Bash on me if you want, but I just don't think this is appropriate fodder for an internationally-based coding list. How many of

:-) No Chad, I'm quite sure few, if any, are aware of this: The patent--issued on Valentine's Day--covers all rich-media technology implementations, including Flash, Flex, Java, Ajax, and XAML, when the rich-media application is accessed on any device over the Internet, according to the patent

I don't know why anyone would criticize something that obviously took some time to put together and is being offered up for free to the community. If it's not for you, just ignore. As for me, I tip my hat to thotskee for a job well done. Oh, and btw, my cheat sheet hangs proudly on the wall
