by Jen deHaan

The Learning Resources team at Adobe is seeking people to partake in a study of your Flash workflow. Those who participate get an Amazon gift card and thanked profusely, and of course will help make Flash better, so if you are a match it should be worth your time.

Please see Jay’s post here for more information:

His post outlines:
a) The criteria to meet (many of you could be a match to at least one of them)
b) The contact information if you meet the criteria and want to participate.

Please check out the post if you’re interested in helping make Flash better (and getting something from Amazon)!

So is Flash CS4 perfect, or not?

by Jen deHaan

If you think Flash CS4 is perfect, doesn’t need to change, or don’t care about Flash at all then you can quit reading this and go back to Flash and tween something.

If you don’t think it’s perfect then keep reading. Actually, even if Flash is perfect this post still applies… so please keep reading anyway :)

Adobe’s Product Improvement Program is what this post is on, because it might not be obvious from the option’s name but it’s a) not a survey, b) doesn’t require any work, and c) pretty darn important. Essentially you can opt into this program that sends anonymous information (the info it sends is pretty much like the list you see in the History panel) about what features you use in Flash. Big deal? Yup. It tells us what features you actually use. And that then helps us know what’s most important to you. Which is good. You help influence what gets attention in Flash. You, personally. You affect the future.

So your good deed of today is to go make sure this is turned on. Go to Help > Adobe Product Improvement Program in the main menu, and in the window that opens read the info and click Yes Participate if you agree with the stuff it says. And then create a whole lot of new motion tweens. Please. I’ll promise to upload more FLA files if you do!
