This year's flashconference/fmx in Stuttgart is approaching fast - it's taking place from May 3rd - 6th - and it has become something like a tradition that I'm speaking there. In my session I will be talking about my attempts to build...

That what I was afraid of has happened. I've just watched the trailer for the upcoming The Hichhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie and now I'm ... disappointed? shocked? disgusted? Did I read a different story? Where is all that action coming...

Let me make this clear first: the following issue does not affect swfs or the Flash plugin in general - normal users are not affected at all. This is a Flash developer-only thing. The recent update to Flash MX 2004 has not...

Claus Wahlers has a reason to celebrate: DENG is the winner in the "Technical Merit" category of the Flash Forward 2004 NYC Film Festival and can take home one of those big rubber arrow trophies. Unfortunately he couldn't make it to New...
