New SeeSpotSlide Players Release!

I've updated the players for SeeSpotSlide today to include a volume on/off button on mouse over. This makes it significantly less annoying to place video into your slideshows. Before the update, a looping slideshow would keep playing the audio of the slideshow over and over again. This way, you can click on the volume icon in the upper right and turn it on or off.

The volume has a default state of off when the slideshow loads.

There was also a small issue with the resizing of videos in the players. That issue has been addressed and resized video seems to be working fine. Please let me know if anyone is experiencing any issues with video playback.

Code Enahancements upcoming in Flex 3

Ted Patrick has released the second day of peeks into the upcoming Flex 3 build. He gives samples of the code enhancements with details at his blog. These enhancements look like a fantastic inclusion! It will take Flex into a much more serious enterprise application realm with these features. I can't wait to see them in action!

"The code enhancements in Flex 3 are a standout in this release. The features include faster compilation, compiler class caching, deeper language intelligence for AS3/MXML/CSS, Code Search, Refactoring (Renaming: Method,Class,Variable), Code Outline, Memory Profiling, Performance Profiling, Profiling Live Memory Data, Enhanced Module support, and Multiple SDK support."

What the Flock is this thing?

Hmm?! This Flock browser is kind of interesting. I downloaded the app this morning and am currently running it to post to this blog. It seems like the tool set is based on Mozilla browser and it has some really nice features for enabling blogging and sharing. The browser feature of the app seems to be just a bit slower than Firefox. Could be due to the overhead of some of the tools.

There's a couple of buggy issues in the Mac version of the blogging entry form, but other than that 2 thumbs up from me! Check it out at the link below.

New Flex3 features

Ted Patrick is releasing some info on the upcoming Flex3 release on his blog this week. The first covers some of the integration points for graphic skinning in Flex using Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, ect.

I was just telling Joe this morning (www.merhl.com) about what a pain in the ass it is sometimes to have to compile Flex apps to see the exact positioning of dynamic elements... Someones ears must have been ringing at Adobe :)

SeeSpotSlide and Google Searching

Interesting how quickly the internet world works. This morning, I searched google for SeeSpotSlide and got 2 items returned. This afternoon, I did the same search. This time, it returned 75 items on 3 pages. Most are links to news aggregators for Joe Johnston's blog (www.mehrl.com). Interesting, none the less.
