FLASH: Flash Tech Resource Update

[John Croteau]

Hi all,


If you need technical help Flash Central's Flash Tech Resource is the

place  to start:   http://www.FlashCentral.com/Tech/

The Flash Tech Resource is much more than a simple FAQ.

We now have links to articles from more than 40 sites that provide help

to Flashers. I have added more than a hundred new links in the last week

and will be adding at least another hundred over the next couple of

weeks.


If it isn't at the Resource, then post to the Flasher List (but check

first).


Many you have noted that the interface has been changing, lately. It is

mostly completed and it now is much easier and quicker to find the

technical information you need whether it is at a Flash Central site,

Macromedia or another site. Despite the interface change hopefully all

your old bookmarks should still get you where you need to go.


Most Flash related topics at Macromedia are now linked. Only a few

categories are not 100% up-to-date. The next task to to get the 3rd

party links current.


Only pages that provide general or specific help for Flashers are linked

at Flash Central's Flash Tech Resource. We do not link demos or examples

of Flash in the this section. But we do have a list of that have sample

FLAs for study.

Qualifacations to have pages or to be linked as a Flash Resource at FC

are below:


                  -------------------------


    http://www.FlashCentral.com/Tech/Resources/Flash.htm

For a site to be linked at Flash Central under Flash Resources:


1) It must provide articles, tutorials or other Flash related help that

is deeemed valuable. We do not guarantee accuracy of information on

other sites but will remove sites that provide constant bad

information.  A single article does not automatically qualify a site as

a Flash Resource.

2) The MIME must be set on the site. we have added a couple of sites who

have set their MIME and one more is working on it. I even have decided

to link to Berto's site now that he has the MIME set on his current site

even though his site fails to work with Netscape 3 and MSIE 3.

3) I have never required a site to link to FC to be linked at FC. And

still have links to sites that have never linked to FC. I would of

course appreciate a link from all of the resources linked at FC.


                   ------------------


           http://www.FlashCentral.com/Tech/

For a particular page to be linked at FC a site a page must:


1) Provide usefully and mostly accurate information on a Flash related

subject.

2) Be available with a direct link to that article or tutorial.

3) The links at that site must be perminate. A site that changes or

moves pages may not have pages linked to directly.

4) If it used Flash the MIME must be set for Flash.

5) If a site prefers a direct link to a page such as in a frame we will

be happy to use that. 

6) If a site requests that we do not link directly to their pages then

we will not link to the individual pages. That site may still be a Flash

Resource (if it qualifies), but they will not get links under individual

categories no matter how good the information is. There is only one site

that has requested this.


Just a reminder, if your page is not listed it may already be scheduled

to be added, but if you send me a suggested list of links and categories

where you sites pages should be linked, then it may speed your listing.

I have over a hundred links being readied and checked for addition now

and know there are many others. Now that most categories at MM are

current, I will concentrate the other sites.
