Flash Player 10.1 introduced vital new video delivery options:
- HTTP Dynamic Streaming (Live and VoD)
- RTMFP Groups for Peer Assisted Multicasting (Live)
- Flash Access DRM Support (Live and VoD)

Hi Matt,
First, Flex 2 is AS3 only. So if you intend your interactive charting
widget to integrate with Flex create it in Flash CS3 using AS3.
(The background is ... In Flash Player, AS3 runs in its own AVM2
(ActionScript Virtual Machine 2). AVM2 exists only in Flash Player 9 and
higher. In

Do you work with the Flash Media Server? If so, the FMS product team would
like feedback on how you use the FMS
componentshttp://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/components.html.
Or, if you do not use them, why not. The product team has opened up a
survey at the following link.
Just curious, other than FlashCoders, are there any active
ActionScript-centric support mailing lists?
Recommendations of any good ones would be appreciated ;-)

Ian, thank you for the link on Robert Taylor's FlashInterface.

Jason,
Regarding How about calling a WSDL - Webservice? Not possible in CS3?
First I just want to rephrase that as Flash CS3 AS3 because for the AS2
components (aka V2 components) nothing has changed from Flash MX 2004 to
Flash 8 to Flash CS3 (except FLVPlayback being introduced with Flash 8).
Patrick,
I know of no way to export swf directly to FLV. Flash CS3 has introduced a
new option on export to Quicktime. Once an MOV has been rendered, you can
use the Flash Video Encoder (or encoder of your choice) to transcode into
FLV.
Animators who use Flash for broadcast have long
Yes, who would have believed that Flash CS3 would yield AS3 components that
are:
- a reduced set of UI components from AS2
- no data components
- elimination of databinding
And as Randy points out, all this in the run up to Microsoft's Silverlight
release. Based on my decades of
Yes, Flex has AS3 versions of all of the components that Flash 8 had and
then some. That is the point.
The message is pretty clear: If you want a comprehensive, state of the art
component set use Flex.
You can preview the full set of Flex UI components here:
Regarding Jason's question, NO. As yet Flash CS3 has no AS3
classes/components for WebService or Remoting. And no where have I seen any
promised. (I would like to see them, so if anyone from Adobe is on this
list and might like to tell us that there one day will be Flash CS3 AS3 Data

I am wondering if anyone has encountered the following (and if so if you
offer any solutions).
Flash CS3 includes an AS3 FLVPlayback component which has several skins that
support fullscreen.

the fullscreen button is

Regarding Flash / Flex integration ...
As a Flash developer I have felt that Adobe was doing a pretty crappy job
explaining Flash / Flex integration. Now I understand that they were just
waiting to release Flash CS3. After all, Flex 2 is exclusively AS3 based.
So in retrospect it seems fair
Oh, my God. Who would ever have thunk it!
ADOBE HAS PUT UP AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT THEY WILL BE OPEN SOURCING FLEX. THE
WHOLE KIT AND KABOODLE!!!

It will take time, but likely by this time next year it will all be out
there!
TRULY, NOW,
Adrian,
Have you gotten this resolved yet?
I am a little rusty on the FLVPlayback component. It wraps the VideoPlayer
class. If you look on the docs there are a number of properties on
VideoPlayer that you might be able to use to construct the logic you
describe. Docs here:

Thank you very much for your very thoughtful and informed post.
This is a great time to be a Flash developer. It is great watching the
Flash/SWF ecosystem expanding.

For code hints, I believe you are looking for the [Inspectable] metadata

[Inspectable] is used by both Flash and Flex components.

Hi jbach,
You ask about differences for as2, and as3. But you preface it with I
know this has been discussed ad nauseam for as1.
I think any performance comparisons of AS1 to AS3 would be the same for AS2
to AS3.
fwiw, my understanding is that *at runtime* AS1 and AS2 are
one-and-the-same.
Patrick,
I can not answer this one from experience. However, following is a link

Daniel,
AS3 requires Flash Player 9. Is that dependency ok for your application?
As of the latest FP penetration stats (Sept '06), FP9 is only at around 36%
(of the known universe). Some have reported successfully deploying on
external facing sites with the express install very easily
Dennis,
The Flashcomm list has been back up since Nov 1. My guess is that you need
to resubscribe. I think the corruption that brought the list down resulted
in the subscriber list being lost. I am guessing that because there has
been very low traffic since it came back up. The following
I am not at all knowledgeable about 3D. So I offer the following
observations only as an observer looking in.

mashup. Here is the description off of

Millie,
I think Dave and Kent pretty much answered your question about Flex cost.
Since you mention education licenses, one thing I can add is that academic
licenses for Flex 2 w/Components are a mere $79! Of course you have to be a
student, teacher, professor, etc. One source here:
