28th September 2006 (28/09/2006)
Flex Databinding (19:00 - 20:00) - Johannes Nel
Flex databinding is one of the main benefits of using Flex. The goal of this presentation is to cover this often underused feature of the Flex framework.
Flash Lite 2 (20:15 - 21:15) - Richard Leggett
This session covers intermediate to advanced Flash Lite 2 development, by showcasing a video jukebox application, the use of the drawing API to dynamically generate content, and an experimental action game. Topics will focus on common pitfalls and best practices, as this is where Flash Lite development really differs from its desktop counterpart and where most developers get hung up. The aim is to allow fast learners to take away skills that they can apply to Flash Lite development as well as to show inspirational examples of what is possible. The session will also cover the creation of a real time multiplayer game, utilizing the newest Flash Lite features.
Prizes for the free raffle
1. A full conference pass to Flash on the Beach donated by Flash on the Beach.
2. Foundation Flash 8 Video donated by friends of ED.
3. A packet of cured ostrich meat.

I’d like to see a really nice easy way to signup for the next event on the site… oh, err, guess that’s my fault again, sorry
*Agree HaXe would be interesting.
*How about a ‘what to teach your designers’ session, where we cover all the daft things designers do to make our life harder and how to train them not to?
*The state of OS flash… is a ‘real’ project possible using completely OS tools?

Hi All,
I am happy with any presentation on flash especailly the “hands on” nuts and bolts presentations. The ones where you can go home and get your hands dirty with flash. I am interested in “Best Practice” and I love presentations that can vision the future of Flash.
B.T.W. - Tinks, I think you are doing a brill job!! ( do you know where I can get a cheap/reduced price ticket for Flash on the Beach? I have not seen anything on ebay yet!)
Regards
Mike

Hope to be there.
September 22nd, 2006 at 12:43 pm
Found LFP UG through Actionscript.org today. You have a session on Flash Lite development. This is great as I know a Flash Lite project is going to land on my desk some day soon.
See you all there. R
September 25th, 2006 at 12:31 pm
Like a bad penny, I’ll be there….
September 25th, 2006 at 12:48 pm
Like I have anything better to do than spend the evening in a bar with a bunch of GEEKS!?!
Sure, I’ll be there, as long as I don’t have be responsible for the projector again…
September 25th, 2006 at 6:47 pm
I’ d like to come to Lu-Fu_PUG please. I’d like to agree with Bruno about the “Using Flash to pull girls talk”. Also possible prizes could include “Male Feromone spray for Flash geeks” and “1000 coding example chat up lines”. And if I may quote Mike G slightly out of context but word for word exactly, “I am happy with any presentation on flash especailly the “hands on” nuts” - I look forward to any presentation Mike may give with some trepidation
September 26th, 2006 at 9:40 am

September 26th, 2006 at 10:35 am

September 26th, 2006 at 1:01 pm
Design Patterns? Sounds like something I should know!
September 26th, 2006 at 7:11 pm
Can’t wait.
In terms of sessions from the suggestions web services and HaXe sound good to me.
Overall though I think you’ve got the balance spot-on right now with the mix of practical and inspirational presentations.
September 27th, 2006 at 9:47 am
i’ll be ther
September 27th, 2006 at 11:33 am
I would like to see Flash/FLOSC/puredata projects. Using flash created interfaces to control physical elements, and using sensor-based interfaces to affect flash generated content.

Dag nammit - I can’t make it after all. I’ll have to catch the vids.
September 28th, 2006 at 3:52 pm
My phone line was down for 5 days, 5 days of no email web access, and as I work from home no work! There are some positives.
September 28th, 2006 at 5:59 pm
I have nothing positive to contribute. Can you let me in anyway?
October 10th, 2006 at 2:04 pm
How about giving a talk on when the next meeting is going to be?
- Actually I am interested in pay-per-view (I’m not talking about my personal viewing habbits mind)
October 17th, 2006 at 7:44 am
Yeah, whats the plan for the next hook up dude?
A session on setting up and using FlashDevelop for MXML & AS3 would be good for all the ‘OSFlash lovers’ and ‘can’t afford Flexbuilderers’.
