Adobe Help Viewer 2

As far as I heard from Lee Brimelow while taking a “What’s new in Flash CS4?” course at FITC last April, the help for the CS4 suites were left much to be desired because it required a connected environment to the web. There is a work around for this since the help files are actually installed on the users’ computer. (I will update this once I find my notes on this.)

I tweeted RJ Jacquez, senior product evangelist for the E-learning and Tech Comm suites, and asked him since Adobe produces Robohelp, why wasn’t a Robohelp used for the help for the CS4 suites? It turns out that they did not have enough time, but the Captivate 4 team managed to include it. (See screen shot below.) This is a taste that you will find when CS5 is released. (I hope not too soon, I am just getting used to CS4.)

Adobe version 2 is based off Adobe AIR. It has a much improved interface and using AIR’s internet detection features, a user is permitted the user to toggle between “online” and “offline” help modes via the circle icon at the bottom right corner of the interface. I really like the comment pod (see the caption icon on the menu bar on top) where you can insert private notes or upload your comments to the Adobe community.

After installing the AIR update for Flash CS3, check your publish settings

While looking over some source code that I had downloaded from Adobe, I tested my movie and was wondering, “Where did my bandwidth profiler go?” It turns out that my publish settings had been set to “AIR 1.0″. Just a recommendation that if you publish something, it might default to AIR. So if things don’t seem right, just check your publish settings.

OnAirBusTour and Intro to AS3

Update: I forgot to mention that I added the flickr badge below.

I meant to write up something, but I’ll get down to it sooner or later. I placed a flicker badge with some photos. I noticed that there are a lot of them are too dark. I’ll get down to that too.

In sum, it really rocked! It was a good intro to AIR. But I think the big story was at Chicago MAX when AIR Beta 2 came out with a Flex 3 update.

Currently, a lot of Adobe people are in Barcelona on MAX. I haven’t heard much from that conference yet. Perhaps an update on Flash Lite 3, but that’s it.

Next Tuesday (Sept. 25th), I will be attending Grant Skinner’s course at the rich media institute in Toronto. The following day, I will be attending the Adobe Integrated Runtime (formerly Apollo) Tour (Sept. 26th). In the meantime, I have to check out Flex, and the Dreamweaver extension to develop AIR apps.
