As you may have heard, Adobe has announced the release of Adobe Flex 3 and Adobe AIR 1.0. Now that the cat is out of the bag, this will be the focus of our March 5th special meeting! Adobe is sponsoring this meeting with food, giveaways and a raffle copy of Adobe Flex Professional.
Flex 3 is a feature-packed release, adding new UI components like the advanced datagrid and improved CSS capabilities; powerful tooling additions like refactoring; and extensive testing tools including memory and performance profiling, plus the addition of the automated testing framework to Flex Builder.
Adobe AIR is game-changing in so many ways, delivering rich applications on the desktop, enabling access to the local file system, system tray, notifications and much more. Now you can write RIAs on the desktop using the same skills that you’ve been already using to create great web apps including both Flex and AJAX.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to see and hear about this highly anticipated release of Flex 3 and AIR at this meeting.
Who: You and everyone else you know! If we get over 50 Attendees we will be raffling off a copy of Adobe CS3 Web Premium, so bring some friends!

So if you’re reading this, you’ve probably noticed that we’ve recently changed the site for the user group from getswfy.com to sdfug.org. The new name is a bit more reflective of the group and will contain the same general group related information and useless, err.. useful, yes USEFUL and compelling posts found on the old site.

Thanks to all of you who attended our first meeting tonight. If you haven’t already done so, please be sure to sign up for our google group so we can keep you updated on future meetings and events. Also, please feel free to send us your thoughts and ideas for future meetings (what you’d like to discuss, if you’d like to present something, general thoughts or critiques on the meeting, etc.) We’re still trying to get the hang of this thing so any input is greatly appreciated. And spread the word! This group can’t function without all of you, so please pass the word on to your friends/fellow geeks, or random strangers on the street. Our goal is to have your next meeting on the first Wednesday of January, so keep posted for the topics listing and dates in the next few weeks. Thanks again!
Flash Develop
Flash Develop is my personal Actionscript editor of choice. It offers some great code hinting, as well as a lot of great customization options. It is only available for PC at this time and it’s free, so go check it out!
Kirupa.com
Has some very helpful tutorials, as well as a forum dedicated to the transition from Actionscript 2.0 to Actionscript 3.0
gotoandlearn.com
Contains some helpful video tutorials put together by Lee Brimelow. By far one of my favorite presenters, and in general an all around good guy!

It’s official, we have a time, we have a place, now we just need you! Come one, come all, to the first official meeting of the San Diego Flash Users Group.
When: Wednesday, December 5th, 2007 from 7 - 9PM
Where: The Art Institute of California San Diego ( 7650 Mission Valley Road San Diego, CA ) MAP. We will be meeting in “The Palette” which is located on the second level of the Art Institute. When you arrive, park in the parking lot and enter through the main entrance, then let the security guard know that you are here for the Flash Users Group meeting and ask how to get to the palette (basically once you enter the building, simply go up the stairs to the second floor and the palette should be directly in front of you).
What to expect: We will have three presenters, each discussing a different topic. Then will open up the floor for general discussion and questions. This will be a great opportunity to share ideas, meet people with similar interests, and interact with other industry professionals. Please keep in mind that this is our first meeting, and we will still be trying to figure out what format works best for anyone. Feedback is always appreciated, so feel free to send us any thoughts or ideas as to what you would like to get from this group and from future meetings.
If you plan on attending: Please leave a comment to this post so we can get an idea of how many people to expect.
Sign up for our Google Group here.
We look forward to meeting you all!
-The SDFUG Team!
