RE: [Flashcoders] FAQ Adobe acquisition of Macromedia
The only thing I really like on the surface of this merger is the fact the Macromedia apps will get tabbed palettes back. Doesn't Flash 8, Dreamweaver 8, etc. already have that? At least, they do on my machine. Unless what you mean by a tabbed palette isn't what I am thinking.

He means Adobe-like paletters that MM was forced to stop using by a lawsuit from Adobe a couple of years ago (or so the story goes). On Photoshop, Illustrator and other Adobe tools, you can group panels together (using 'tabs') so space is a bit better used. MM's current solution is close to it, but not as good, IMO, as you can just fold and unfold panels but they can never share the same space. Funny enough, it's also one of the best things I expect from this merger/aquisition. - zeh ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Actually you can group panels together in Flash 8, and they'll have tabs. Click the icon on the right in a tab header and select Group [PanelName] with. Then choose the panel you want it to be grouped with. Once they are grouped, they'll each have a tab. There seems to be a bug: the first time you group panels, then click a tab, the tabs disappear. Just collapse the panel and open it again and all is well.

RE: [Flashcoders] FAQ Adobe acquisition of Macromedia
The answer about the Flash Player and Adobe Reader was a little confusing. We updated the QA to make it more clear. Here's the updated text: What are Adobe's plans for Flash Player and Adobe Reader? Our long-term plan is to develop a universal client by combining PDF, Flash and HTML in a single, integrated runtime. Of course, we will continue delivering the Flash Player as a small, efficient runtime for content and applications on the web, and Adobe Reader for viewing and interacting with PDF documents and forms. The integration of these technologies into a unified framework creates a ubiquitous platform that runs on virtually every device, and dramatically expands the opportunities to create compelling solutions. -Sara Spalding -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Judah Frangipane Sent: Wednesday, December 07, 2005 10:25 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] FAQ Adobe acquisition of Macromedia FAQ Adobe acquisition of Macromedia http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/invrelations/adobeandmacromedia_faq.html Interesting key points: *How long will it take to integrate Flash Player and Adobe Reader?* It will be a multiyear effort.

It sounds like they will have for download Flash Player 8 and Adobe Reader for download for a while and eventually create a Flash Player X.

RE: [Flashcoders] FAQ Adobe acquisition of Macromedia
Again, the FAQ items refers to Apollo, and not the web based plugins / players. So Apollo will be a sort of web browser that has a flash and PDF renderer built in? I mean, I know Adobe won't likely market it as a browser, but that sounds basically like what it will be. What about our clients who want to continue using IE or Netscape instead of Apollo? There is no intent to integrate the Flash runtime with the Adobe reader? The FAQ is worded as, What are Adobe's plans for Flash Player and Adobe Reader? - so the other part of the answer to the question should address Flash on other browsers as well as this Apollo I would think.

Macromedia was a little more straight-up with their downloads though. The only thing I really like on the surface of this merger is the fact the Macromedia apps will get tabbed palettes back. Anyhow, as an example. I had a client over and he needed to open a PDF. I had a newly formatted laptop and said, sure, use this laptop, just download the PDF viewer. A couple of days later I use the laptop, and I had Yahoo! toolbar going on. I had some sort of Photoshop Starter Something I don't even know what going on. I'm sure he just went did whatever seemed like the default download, but unfortunately, I ended up with a bunch of stuff I did not want on my computer.
