It’s Official. I’ll be giving a talk at Adobe MAX 2009 entitled:

“Creating Workflow tools for the Flash IDE”.
October 6 at 01:30PM

This should actually read “Creating Flex Based Workflow tools for the Flash IDE”, but that bit got lost in translation somehow. The session will cover using Flex to extend the Flash IDE in the form of Flex applications running custom panel windows. If you were to look at Flash panels over the years they’re typically built purely in Flash using a very limited Flash component set. Worst of all, they don’t have a liquid layout. Of course Flex has layout management, but the framework also makes it easier to create complex applications to help automate your daily tasks. From there you can do things like integrate online content consumable through web services, communicate back with online systems (be they task or asset management systems), and automate the manipulation of items on your documents stage.

Keep an eye out as I may be posting more details in the weeks to come, and if you’re planning to stop by, let me know :)
