In case you missed the news the Adobe released Flash Builder 4, along with the Flex 4 Framework (and for you ColdFusion users, a new ColdFusion Builder).
In addition, Adobe added a new Social service to the recently introduced Adobe® Flash® Platform Services. The Social service streamlines integration between Web applications and 14 leading social networks using Facebook Connect, Sign-in with Twitter, MySpaceID and LinkedIn.
To celebrate this, both the San Diego Flash User Group and the San Diego Adobe Developer User Group will be co-sponsoring a launch event. Come learn about the new features and improvements in Flash Builder and the Flex Framework.
Adobe has sent us some swag and I think some funds to have some pizza. So please RSVP on either the Adobe Groups site or via the Google Groups site.
The meeting will be held at the Art Institute of San Diego (7655 Mission Valley Road
San Diego , CA 92108) on April 5th at 6pm. NOTE: DATE CHANGE
Please spread the word!!

FlashCamp San Francisco is a free one night event hosted by Adobe covering everything you need to know about about the latest Flash Platform tools and technologies, including Adobe Flash Player 10.1, Adobe Flash CS5, Adobe Flash Builder 4 and mobile design and development.
I was at the last FlashCamp in San Francisco and it was a great event. It is an awesome way to talk directly to the folks who make the platform and tools that we all use. They usually have lots of goodies to had out, so if you can’t afford attending MAX, a cheap flight to San Francisco might be in order. I got my ticket, get yours before they are gone.

Come join us this Wednesday, our topic will be on the new WorkflowLab project, developed in part by our own James Polanco. WorkflowLab is a new AIR application that provides an easy way to learn about and share workflow best practices. It provides designers, developers and project managers with a common way to share information on specific project types including tasks, applications and instructions. The application includes a number of workflow starting points and enables users to easily share additional workflows. WorkflowLab is currently in development and an Alpha build is available for download. Rumor has it that other members of the team might be attending, including Doug Winnie.
In addition, we will have several software giveaways, so you better make plans to attend.
When: December 2nd, 6pm
Where: Art Institute San Diego, South Building

Although the Open Source version of the Flex 3.4 SDK was made available last week, the official release has been made, including updated Data Visualization components and the Automation Framework bits. You can download the parts from the Adobe site.
Note: The 3.4 release fixes some serious cross-site scripting problems!
The Flex team has also posted on the status of the Flex Data Visualization Components, if you use these components you should a take a moment to read it.

James Polanco, co-founder of DevelopmentArc will be demonstrating DevelopmentArc’s upcoming Flex debugging tool, Flex Inspector. This application is built on top of Adobe AIR and is intended to provide a Firebug-like experience that allows for real-time inspection and modification of Flex application properties and styles. During this presentation James will also cover some typical challenges with debugging Flex-based applications and discuss how Flex 4 will soon change how applications are designed, developed and debugged.
Afterwards we will have an open technical forum, so bring your questions!
