I’ve added an AS 2.0 category and an Other Classes category in Flash Source. From here on out (because I don’t want to go back and edit all my posts’ categories) I will post classes that others make in Other Classes and my own in My Classes. I will also tag them as […]
Grant Skinner and Adobe have teamed up to create an FLV player in Ajax. Basically, this allows you, through external interface, to control video and broadcast/react to events in Ajax just like you would inside of Flash. You can read more about it on Grant’s site.
