Adobe has updated the Flash Player Version Penetration Page which now shows over 90% of users in mature markets (i.e. the US and similar economies) are using version 9 or higher. That's important because it means our clients can develop Flex, ActionScript 3, and Flash video based applications with a high degree of confidence that their content can be viewed by the intended audience.

If  I had to choose one person to be stranded with on an island in the middle of the ocean, it sure the hell would'nt be Tom Green. However, he is one excellent instructor and he is a lot of fun to hang around with. I met Tom at the officialMacromedia MAX conference in Anaheim, California in 2005. Most recently he released a book, From AfterEffects to Flash - Poetry in Motion and he is also the author of the latest Lynda.com video on Fireworks CS3, ... a software program which I am glad to see lives on. Tom will be rolling out a schedule of limited dates (2 day hands on training) this summer with Sterling Ledet and Associates and if you are lucky enough to catch him in the classroom, it will be well worth the trip. He is a master of working with video in Flash and is CS3 AS3.0 version ready to share his knowledge.http://www.ledet.com/outlines/pdf/tomgreen.pdf
