Greetings DFWAUGers!!!

I hope this week finds your creative energies flowing, and clients knocking at your door. Let me get the linkage up for the folks in a hurry:

Bryan Tamayo's "Thinking Outside The Page" PDF Tutorial - Read about Bryan over at the Dallas Acrobat user group. Download his PDF at no charge. Send him an e-mail to let him know how much he rocks.

A small departure from my usual Photoshop/Lightroom/Photography posts but I have to tell you about Trillix!

The latest version of Eltima Software's Flash Decompiler, dubbed Trillix 3.0, is a powerful and useful tool to have in your Flash arsenal! If you are a Flash developer you may shy away from decompilers. Perhaps you see them as the tool nefarious people use to steal your designs. But wait! Here is a tool that you can really sink your teeth into!

Here's another benefit to being a DFWAUG member!

Eltima Software has agreed to offer a permanent 10% discount to our members! WOW - Thanks Eltima!!

The following products are eligible for the discount:

Adobe's Heidi Voltmer wants me (and you) to have some cool stickers.

Trying to keep up with the doings at last week's MAX event at this remove was a proverbial drink from the firehose. Lots of good stuff came out of there, and i'm still sorting through it all. The first thing i've managed to wrap my head around is the update to Adobe's AJAX library.

&tBoth AIR and Flex have moved into the next stage of their Beta.  If you are part of the PreRelease program you can download the new drops.;p> If you happened to have built an AIR app, you will need to update it's code base for it to run with the newly released AIR Beta 2.  You find instructions for updating your AIR app here: AIR BETA 1 to BETA 2 Update Instructions 

This last week Adobe has announced the go live of their "Adobe Developer Connection".
