Hi there.
Just wanted to post that our new (second revision) Flash CS4 book is out and you can get it here:

Flash cs4 help driving you nuts?

hi there, long time no see … but we are very busy working on some interesting projects and writing the second edition of our “workshops for flash” book.
the latter is also the reason why we are using flash cs4 more than we usually would … and especially the cs4-built-in-actionscript-editor … *phew* what a mess that is. no real auto-completion, no auto-import and the flash-help keeps opening my browser with the online flashhelp :( really annoying.
but there are some ways around this behavior.

great stuff :)
cheers

Great challenge: the 25-line actionscript contest

Keith Peters started hosting the great 25 lines contest (again) – a contest where you can do anything you want only it has to fit into 25 lines of ActionScript 3 code.

I’m really curious what people will contribute. There are some nice prizes up for grabs … go, check’em out.

And now we only have to come up with an idea of our own … mmmm.

Cheers, phil
