In the days of Flash 4 we had Helen Triolo who now runs Actionscript Toolbox collating a kind of online Flash FAQ which collected various Flash related questions and answers, from the various forums and newsgroups of those days. It continued into the release of Flash 5, but sadly stopped.
Fortuneatley for us, we can now search the Flashcoders mailing list, one of the largest collections of flash and actionscript related knowledge on the internet. And now Claus Wahlers has created a Flash RIA which will also search the archives for us, conveniently named Chattysearch!.
