Liveblogging MAX 2008 Day 1 General Session Keynote – Click Refresh!

by Jen deHaan

So get ready for yet another liveblog, this year from Flashthusiast (as I can’t stick with the same blog it seems). I hope my battery lasts the morning.

The excitement is in the air. It’s palpable. We’re listening to Panic at the Disco of all things. People who are not me are taking pictures. Runes and MAX video stuffs are playing on giant monitors. Pretty – well, very – good setup, and us employees are allowed in the big room this year.

And it starts!

We have a turntable slideshow from some guy called Mike. A DJ guy in a suit.

We have videos playing — It’s Sean K and Tony D from the Flash team (whoo!) … and a bunch of other people on video… Grant Skinner and other Adobe enthusiasts I suppose. Duane N. Yep, Adobe enthusiasts.

And *now* it starts!

More after the jump!

Adobe MAX and motion tweens: a perfect combination, better than PB&J even

by Jen deHaan

If you want to learn about new motion tweens in Flash, and you’re going to be at Adobe MAX, you’re in luck. I’ll be giving a short presentation as part of the QE team session, and we’ll be at the Flash birds of a feather session. This isn’t in the MAX session guide so I thought I’d blog about it so the two of you out there interested can read all about it.

More fascinating info after the jump.
