I’m really hoping to find someone with flex_sdk_3.0.2.2171.zip. This release has disappeared from opensource.adobe.com. Unfortunately, I no longer have it and need to make a 1 to 1 copy of a swf from source that used this sdk. I’ve tried v3.0.2.2113 and v3.0.3.2490 but both produce a swf that is around 6kb too small to be correct.
I’m sure adobe had a swell reason for taking it down, but I really need it. If anyone has it or knows how it can be found, please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks ahead of time.
When I read yesterday that Randy Pausch kicked, it felt like he had kicked me in the chest. Left side, just below the nipple. Pancreatic cancer haunts me. August 20th will mark me old man’s b-day and Oct 16 will mark 1 year since dad made the Q-sign (his pet name for death - head with tongue hangin’ out).
Not a big fan of any of the cancers per se, but pancreatic smells worst to my personal experiences. Within the past 2 days, our family lost 2 more friends to that cancer - both diagnosed late last year.
Randy Pausch took his accidental fame and became a sort of posterboy for pancreatic cancer. His Last Lecture has been viewed over 4 million times and should be viewed 4 million more at least. However, I’d like to see his testimony to the Labor, Health, and Human Services Subcommittee hit numbers like that so more know what makes pancreatic cancer smell bad to lots and lots of folks. His testimony is so much my dad’s story it’s maddening. How many other people have said that, I wonder? I wonder if we can have less people come to say that. Last Lecture makes a point of not discussing his cancer. His testimony, naturally, make a point of specifically addressing it. Both should be watched. Last Lecture concerns bringing childhood dreams to fruition. His testimony is about bringing my and many other’s present dream to fruition… a long-deserved breakthrough in pancreatic cancer treatment.
Pretty simple but I like the effect.
Draw, then hit the Sketch button.
Seems apple isn’t a big thermo fan. Or is it the other way around?

Checked out the latest nightly build (3.0.0.854) of the Flex 3 sdk on opensource.adobe.com and saw that it includes flash player 9.0.119.0. I can only assume this is the player officially due out in April. Looks like we have a chance for early testing of the security changes we’ve been warned about. However, some sane portion of caution should be exercised given this comes in the form of a nightly build.
UPDATE: Latest player version as of 3.0.0.1009 of the SDK is 9.0.124.0.
The ActionScript 3 compiler, asc, is now open-source!
I went to get the latest nightly build and saw the news in the release notes.
Don’t bury the living.
It’s been a long time since I picked up director, but I think I’ll be taking the trial for a spin and diggin’ what’s new. Looks like it’ll be available the end of next month.
Messing with wave simulation. Click around to make splashes. Let me know what you think.
I’m heavily considering this. Been curious since it was 1st announced. Anyone else done this or also considering?
