I’ve just read via the AXNA that Adobe, Google and Yahoo! worked together to allow SWF searchability. My first thought was ‘finally they made it’ :)
But while reading the FAQ I’ve been a little disappointed by how this indexation seems to happen:
[...]The Flash Player technology, optimized for search spiders, runs a SWF file similarly [...]

Some days ago I started using FMS (Flash Media Server). Obviously I wanted to write my project in AS3 and realized that they weren’t a lot of documentation on the topic, that why I’ll post here every part of code I made working.
My last project was about creating a chat. I downloaded the demo from [...]

I had quite a hard time figuring out how to call a function hosted on FMS (an .asc file) and how to call a function on the client from the server. I’m new to FMS (Flash Media Server) and there is not a ton of documentation, updated, for ActionScript 3.0.

Here is the solution I prefer: using XSL (eXtensible Stylesheet Language) [...]

During our next event at the Adobe User Group of Geneva I will make an introduction to SEO strategies and the best practice to extend them to SWF powered content. This presentation could also be named SEO for Rich Internet Application. As it is just an introduction I’ll try to make it in 30 minutes [...]

This apply with EcmaScript 4.0,Francis Cheng made a clear explanation of how to use Type Parameters to add type checking in a collection class.
Very useful, now when will AS3 and JS be compatible with this new format ? Well be patient (and try to stay young and fresh :p)
