I want to share a really nice resource on the Adobe site called The Adobe cookbook. Find, share, and comment on code with the developer community. It basically covers most of their apps. Although still in the startup stage, there’s really a lot of helpful code snippets. So head over and start creating some snippets.

To support my prediction for Flash in 2009, I’d like to make the argument that while Flash Platform has become a proven Application platform, Flash Player is being used mostly for other purposes. I’d like to review my assumptions on Flash Player usage, and show why, along with the recent key improvements in Flash, this year is poised to be the year of Flash Advertising.
Current Use of Flash
60% as a Video Player (youtube, vimeo)
20% as an Ad vehicle (banners, point of sale, point of contact)
10% as a gaming engine (web and mobile)
5% as widgets (blog sidebar, myspace)
5% as an application engine (external and internal apps)

Google has been developing a new algorithm for indexing textual content in Flash files of all kinds, from Flash menus, buttons and banners, to self-contained Flash websites. Recently, they’ve improved the performance of this Flash indexing algorithm by integrating Adobe’s Flash Player technology.
In the past, web designers faced challenges if they chose to develop a site in Flash because the content they included was not indexable by search engines. They needed to make extra effort to ensure that their content was also presented in another way that search engines could find.
From the dudes at google :
Now that we’ve launched our Flash indexing algorithm, web designers can expect improved visibility of their published Flash content, and you can expect to see better search results and snippets. There’s more info on the Webmaster Central blog about the Searchable SWF integration.
