Development Techniques for Localizing Flash (19:00 – 20:00) – Dave Williamson
There is no avoiding it. More and more projects require some level of localisation. Clients want their micro site deployed across Europe, banners to support the whole of EMEA, and global intranet applications that take in the whole of the planet. Not only that they want them built to the same timelines as their HTML emails. Find out the easiest tricks to make those hellish localisation issues…… not so hellish.

Introduction to Flash 9 (20:15 – 21:15) – Tink
