FLASH: FlashForward 2000 response?

[Michael Dunn]

Sorry, if this has been brought up already, but I just into work and have 930

!!! emails to get through over the next few hours. I just got back from SF and

the FlashForward conference. Anyone else go? Wanted to hear your reactions, etc.

Here's mine: Intense. Lots of information, cool stuff to see, LOTS of people.

Some stuff not quite up to par (the sound discussion was a fiasco) and the 3D

session felt a bit like an infomercial for Swift 3D. And the Flash preview was a

little disappointing - maybe if they'd revealed something about their plans for

scripting!!! But Josh Ulm's actionscripting insights made so much sense, when i

left it was like AHA!!!! Now I get it. And inspired me to get to work on my own

tutorials (keep an eye out here, I'll post when one's ready). I came up with a

very simple solution to using mc's in actionscripting to do ANYTHING!! Very

simple approach. Very easy for non-programmers to understand I think. Really

excited. And the film festival was pretty great (though the winners weren't to

surprising). All in all it would have been nice if there'd been more time

devoted to flash and less to Quicktime, LiveMotion, Real, etc. But I guess

that's politics.


P.S. The response to Live Motion's features seemed a lot more audience-approved

than those planned for the next version on flash in my opinion. I was more

impressed, anyway.


Anyone else have comments?
