London MMUG Flash 8 Special: Video & Podcasts

The London MMUG the other week was great fun, we had a good turn out aswell, over 100 people. Mike Downey showed everybody the new features of Flash and demonstrated some great usage examples, we then had a Flash 8 Jam Session where myself, Aral Balkan, Richard Leggett and Tink had 11.5 minutes each to showcase cool stuff about a particular new feature of Flash 8.

Naturally i showed off some of the stuff i have been doing with webcams and the Image API. Aral showed alpha channels with video and cue points, Richard showed all the new mobile features and Tink showed his file upload/download stuff.

Somebody secretly recorded everything on a dictaphone which was left on the speakers desk, none of the speakers were aware of this, but by the by, those recordings are now available as podcasts, there is also some good video of the event and lots of piccies.

Everything can be found here.
