Sorry for the very late post.  It's been crazy in Nick-world lately!

We ARE having a meeting tonight.  (No meeting in December, but we are having one
tonight)

The topic is a little hard to explain.  I really liked last meeting where people
got into groups and made the bobble heads.  Tonight's meeting I want it to be a
little more open-ended.  So we were thinking we'd make a tree with ornaments
where if you click it, a user-made flash interaction loads up.  So bring a
laptop if you have one, and if not, that's fine too.

So if Joejoe makes an animation of a dancing monkey, if someone clicks on his
ornament, then you'll see a dancing monkey come up.

This meeting will be rather open and social and a bit of silliness really.

Robert,
Here are three Wordpress plugins that do the page turn.  Probably not exactly what you are looking for, but it might give you some guidance if you plan on decompiling.

BTW, I meant to ask but forgot: What is Stratus? And…how secure is this? Does it create a VPN to the person to whom you’re sending the file, or does it rely on some sort of Stratus server as a go-between?

I want to show this to my boss and teammates, but obviously transferring proprietary data (like Honeywell military documents or projects) would be verboten.

We've chatted directly about Beluga, Nick, but you deserve public props on it, too.

It's a very shiny app, and I really like the simple, clean interface on the website.  Kudos :)

Robert  - as you start the transition, the help docs have a handy migration guide:

 

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/migration.html

 

I used this quite a bit as I was transitioning.  I some cases it’s pretty easy (i.e. “_alpha” is not “alpha” in AS3).  In other cases, it’s not a one-to-one transition and the FlashMN list will be a good resource for those ;)

I'm are working with Flash CS3 Player 9. Is there any place where I can tell what improvements Flash CS4 and Player 10 have over the older stuff. I got a project at work that we want to do in AS3 if possible. I'm just starting to learn AS3 and was wondering what the difference between the two versions was. The books I'm learning from are written with  CS4 in mind and say that some things may not applicable in CS3 or need to be coded different. I looked on Adobe's site, the logic they use is not really compatible with the way I think. I can rarely find anything there.

I noticed that your BelugaFile installer and uninstaller claims that "LodeStar Learning Corporation" is the publisher (see attached).  Do you want this ?

I need the finishing touch for a team creating a flash game. Looking into
finding a high level AS3 programmer. It is for a major client, and should be a
lot  of fun, we have a lot of creative license on this one.
There will be some low level physics, and possibly 3d.
If anybody is interested get in touch with some info about your work, and I will
get you some more info.

I have just begun my search for existing code structures, so if anyone knows of well-developed pre-existing code that is built for something similar, please let me know.

I have a reasonably advanced grasp of AS3, but only intermediate HTML/CSS skills.

I think there is a theoretical file size limit for flash uploading of 100mb per post?

But I have never personally tested this... 

But that may not be an issue for what your doing.

One nice thing about using flash is you can show percentage of upload (progress)

I am looking for opinions on the pros and cons of using either Flash or HTML/CSS to construct an image/MP3 upload form.

The form I am building will be used to upload about 20 images and an MP3 via PHP to a MySQL database.

I have just begun my search for existing code structures, so if anyone knows of well-developed pre-existing code that is built for something similar, please let me know.

I have a reasonably advanced grasp of AS3, but only intermediate HTML/CSS skills.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Well, that depends.  Personally, I cringe anytime I see a site developed all in Flash because it invalidates most of my web-browsing habits.  A good example of this would be opening links in tabs - it just isn't an option in an all-Flash site.

Also, Linux users tend to get left out in the cold by Flash apps (Flash player on Linux has a reputation for terrible performance).

OTOH, for a simple multiple-file upload form (without considering browsing or managing the uploaded images), Flash would work just fine.  Based on your email, it would be faster to write than pages using HTML/CSS, too.

FDT wins if you're solely working on Flash, but it's also significantly
more expensive than the $60 they want for Sublime. Sublime is pretty
much just a text editor, with all the pros and cons that entails.

It's more a replacement for notepad or notepad++ than FDT/Flex Builder.
Still, seeing as I use those tools quite a bit here, that's a pretty
significant gain. It also supports pretty much every other language
syntax out there (like you'd expect from a full-featured text editor).

I'm compiling my AS3 code with Make these days, which Sublime supports
out of the box. You could make a Makefile that invokes mxmlc and then
you get single-key build support from Sublime, which would put it more
in the class of IDEs you're talking about, but you still don't get FDT's
pre-compile syntax parsing that we both adore. Still, at this point I'd
say it beats out FlashDevelop pretty handily -- even without intelligent
completion (which has never worked for me very well in FlashDevelop).

Sublime's coolest feature is that it uses your graphics card to render
out a super-zoomed-out version of your source code (fully syntax
highlighted/etc) that acts as a scrollbar. It sounds silly, but honestly
it's really helpful and I miss it in other editors now. You can
immediately jump to the bit you need to edit because your brain
remembers the "shape" of the source code.
