Little update…

If you haven’t noticed, Cardamar Music and Xerxes Music have some mighty fine looking web badges for their links on the left. Both were created by the wonderfully talented, S. Zeilenga In case the left side of the screen is too far to look and to point them out more, here they are again:

I found a bunch of references on Flash and ActionScript that I’m eventually going to read through, but I think I’m going to invest in a large book hopefully on some of the latest Flash topics. In case anyone else is looking for them, here they are (all official Macromedia/Adobe):

• Learning ActionScript 2.0 in Flash
• ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference
• ActionScript 2.0 Best Practices
• Flash 8 Best Practices

These will funciton as a note for me too. I need to finish so much first… then read… then come back.

UPDATE: I found this fantastic artile that discusses embedding flash into pages while still being standards compliant. It’s by Drew McLellan, a standards supporter and part of the Dreamweaver Standards Project. You end up lacking the versioning advantages, but I think that modifying the loading script would make it work or maybe javascript. Either way, i have the amunition, now I need to learn this crap
