Development tidbits, struggles, revelations, and still some Flash

I first saw this on MacCentral of all places. Sony released firmware 2.70 for the US market today. This brings Flash 6 playback. I did a quick couple of tests this morning, but unfortunately, I only had sites with Flash 7 in my bookmark list. I’ll do some more tests tonight. I was really hoping Sony was going to surprise us with Flash 7 playback. Hopefully that will come later this year or maybe we’ll get it via open-source.

DevNet has been dead for awhile, but why hasn’t Macromedia/Adobe decided to release the old DevNet Resource Kits (at least the items that were owned by Macromedia) as open-source? If you aren’t going to sell it anymore, don’t bury it.

There was some good sample apps and extensions in there that could either be used as-is or updated (provided the source code was supplied) for the newer product releases.

List of all 9 resource kits:
