Flash MX 2004 seems to be half-baked

/ / , , / 0 Comments

When I’m not doing Domino tech and the like, you can generally find me in Macromedia products.  I love Dreamweaver and Flash, and was excited when Macromedia released their latest MX 2004 versions.  I’ve been playing with Dreamweaver a lot and I love it, but I haven’t had a chance to play with Flash yet.  Well, now I’m kind of glad I haven’t.

Basically, you can find a bitch session here.  It’s at Mike Chambers blog.  He’s a guy in charge of a lot of the Flash stuff going on, and it’s a good read.  Hopefully they will patch it up and everyone will be happy.

I’m curious, how many of you use Macromedia stuff.  It’s definitely nice to have some different stuff other than Lotus to rely on once in awhile!

Update:  I just got my PC Magazine, and they seem to love the Macromedia Studio MX 2004 suite, giving it a 5 out of 5 rating.  No mention of all the difficulties people seem to be having in Flash.  Oh well, I agree that the suite rocks, I just hope they get the nagging glitches fixed.

Should I Flash You?

AHA! A post just THREE days after my previous one. Something must be amok! Actually, it’s the Friday before Easter, and half the business world took today off, so it’s been a slow one on phone calls. Made for a nice change. Got to catch up on some development work that I’ve had coming up. It was a nice day actually.

The dev work made me really want to start working on my personal website at roling.com. Basically I want to revamp it and make it more visually appealing and maybe even more interactive. Also, I’m going to add the blog to the site, so the world can actually see what I’m up to out there. Seems weird to bare your soul to the world on the web, but I guess that’s what makes us tick as narcissists. Once I get the whole thing done, I might re-do the entire site in Macromedia Flash. Basically just to get using some of my Flash skills so they don’t get stale. Then when someone comes to the site I’ll have a lo-band version and a high-band version. Now to get motivated, and to get time…

Well no NWN tonight. Our DM didn’t have enough time to work up a module for us, so we’re holding off another week. I’m starting to have withdrawals. Might have to finally fire up the MOO3 for a long romp.

Another thing at the homefront was the addition of a small swing set for Kali in the back-yard. Jen bought it on Tuesday and she and my mother-in-law put it together the other day. Along with the playhouse that my parents got her, the backyard is starting to shape up to be a nice play area for Kali. I think she’ll be spending a lot of time outside this summer. She’s so damn cute. It’s nice to have a Daddy’s girl.
