In anticipation of the launch of Flash Player 10, I am now officially blogging at onFlash.org. At the end of the day whenever you develop with Flash CS3/CS4, Flex 2/3/4 or "Thermo" tools and frameworks you are targeting Flash Player in the browser or Flash Player within AIR, and soon Flash Player and AIR on devices. The key is that Flash is a platform and more and more we are seeing that platform grow in capability and reach. Changing my domain name to onFlash.org is about focusing on Flash as a platform.
Flash as a Platform:
This weekend there is a FlashCamp at Adobe San Francisco (601 Townsend). If you are in the bay area I strongly encourage you to attend and register today because space is limited. The Flash CS4 team is giving away Flash CS4 to registered attendees and this alone is pretty rare. I am going to be there hacking away at FP10 all evening Friday so it should be a great time.
My team will also be recording Flash 10 demos. Bring your "A" game because we are looking for killer Flash Player 10 demos for the Adobe MAX Keynote, no I am not kidding. Please make sure to get your demos recorded at the event. The MAX keynote team will be reviewing all of the entries and contacting folks about using the demos in the MAX keynote.
Seriously, it is time to get your Pixel Bending and Vector class use into shape!
Go Flash Player 10!
Go Flash, The Platform!
Cheers,
Ted :)

I was searching the 2001 Google Index and found this old Macromedia.com site of the day showcase on my old company ishophere.com. It is a really fun look back. We built the Ishophere.com shopping service in Flash 5 using Macromedia Generator in 2000 and we got site of the day on March 14 2001.

It is really an out of body experience to look back in time like this. It is really great to see how far Flash has come as a platform since those early days. Back then AS1 was hot and __proto__ was a property few dared to mess with.
Cool, 97.6% supported on FP5, maybe it is a trend.
Cheers,
Ted :)
