Basic Server Communication with Flash CS4 Professional
Presenter: John Olson, VegasAUG
After learning the basics of Flash and ActionScript, the next thing that most people tend to want to know is how to have Flash talk to the server, usually involving a contact form. This presentation will focus on getting started using Flash and a little bit of ActionScript and some pre-built server scripts to send information from Flash to an email form handler (we'll be using GoDaddy's gdform). In a more advanced example, we will send and load information with the server without that typical HTML page refresh.
Snacks & goodies will be provided at the meeting so don't eat too much before coming to the meeting.

"Photoshop is alway my first choice for designing—from image editing to designing mock-ups. But, did you know that Fireworks is way better than Photoshop in term of image compression? I’m not a software engineer, I can’t explain why Fireworks can compress better. But I can prove it to you by showing a series of experiments I did. "
