But he also writes “Of course, FlashForward is going on this week, so there is no telling what new information may come out. (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)“. New information? This makes me […]

DRK Volume 3 Sneak Peak. Wow, I have no idea how long this has been on the site already. Macromedia published some of the anticipated highlights of DevNet Resource Kit Volume 3.

I am sure that you already have noticed that we released a Flash Remoting updater for .NET and J2EE. According to Mike Chambers, there will be a Remoting update in the next ColdFusion updater as well. Even if you are a CF-Remoting user, you can benefit from the updated Flash Remoting components as well. There […]
