AFCS version 0.93, SDK Navigator and new logo
August 4th, 2009
Flash Collaboration Service got new update -> version 0.93 introducing new logo:
and comes with many useful features, highlights:
- Pure ActionScript 3.0 AFCS library (Flex-free, compiled 55 KB) for use in Flash CS4 or ActionScript projects
- updated WhiteBoardModel API, more flexibility with WhiteBoard component and shapes access
- SharedObject, for better migration of your FMS projects with full Roles and Permissions support
- plus many bug fixes and updated documentation also with section Tutorials
- read Release notes for more specific information
Along with new SDK you get new AFCS SDK Navigator:
- AIR app for more comfortable and better development
- auto-update SDK, when there is new version
- includes video-tutorials
Also you maybe didn’t realize, but for clarification – AFCS SDK provides source-code, so if there is some component, which you would like to change to better fit your application – go ahead – mainly useful with visual ones.

Ryan,
For your consideration:
http://www.colabry.com/
It’s an AFCS Whiteboard like you haven’t seen.
It has:
1. Any UIComponent(s) can be added to the whiteboard
a. Canvas
b. Panel
c. Flv player
d. Tab Navigator
e. Slider
f. … any
2. UIComponents can be drug onto the whiteboard form ‘user’ space (and visa versa);
3. UIComponents can be nested in this process.
a. Drag and drop a TabNavigator (with plank panels);
b. Navigate to a panel
c. drop any item from (1) , rinse and repeat
4. Multiple Whiteboads.
The result is that AFCS white boards can become:
1. Organized with out penalty.
2. Allowed to become very, very deep without being crowded or complicated (with good usability/design of course)
3. Become multi-session /multi audience ( you can imagine a back-stage area(s) and an onstage area(s))
4. Imagine the Aviary tools or photoshop express in a whiteboard. Entirely possible now.
It’s *total* nonsense that Google should be cornering the collaboration buzz. I’d like to have a Collaboration Smack Down.
I’ve reached out to Fang & Nigel at AFCS with my development. And there maybe some collaboration there, but I want to cast a wider net within Adobe. I’ve got a number of ideas which would make great research vehicles, developments and product. That’s why I’m reaching out to you and other Adobe luminaries.
Cheers,
