This Week’s Weekly Links of the Week - Week 53

I know, it is shocking - I actually posted the weekly links on time. We are heading out for the weekend (again) and I am not going to be graced with an internet connection, so I wanted to make sure to post these links before I headed out. Enjoy your beautiful internet connection by surfing through these links while I lie in the fetal position, sobbing like a baby that I am without my DSL connection. See you all next week.

Enjoy the links.

This Week’s Weekly Links of the Week - Week 13

This week’s links have been put together in a completely different manner. I was honestly getting tired of how long it would take to compile and write out each link - it truly was an arduous process.

Thinking Outside of the Flash Embed Box

As a Flash Developer, I get very strange looks when I suggest to clients and co-workers not to use Flash as a solution for particular pieces of a project. While I am an advocate for Flash, I also encourage the implementation of Flash in appropriate situations. AJAX is not just a buzz word. It is a very viable method for solving problems that otherwise would have been done in Flash. We should not have to see another basic Flash slideshow using XML to fade images in and out. There are plenty of AJAX slideshows that can perform just as well as Flash (sans high-end motion features).

With the Flash / JavaScript Integration Kit, the doors were opened to allow Flash and Javascript to communicate with each other. While there are some very impressive examples of using Flash and Javascript together, very little seems to have been done with this new method of Flash development. This surprises me greatly as it has completely changed how I approach developing Flash applications.
