Edward Sullivan at adobe has set every thing in motion for our user group to become an official Adobe user group upon a few required complete tasks which include a committed web site (”the one your reading now”) and one meeting with in two month from now which is no problem since I plan on hosting one every month.
Getting excited and hopeful.
I am please to announce that the first monthly meeting will be coming soon. The topic of the first meeting will be “tools of the trade”. We will have a presentation about all the tools known for creating flash content. I decided this will be a proper topic for people that may come who are new to AS3 and want to learn how to use it. This will be a short meeting mostly to introduce the user group and find out the interests of the members.
Please RSVP by emailing me at josh@gfxcomplex.com
If I don’t have at lease 10 RSVPs I will most likely cancel the meetings so I do hope to see your RSVP.
Once again the AS3 Apex user group is looking for sponsorship. Thanks

As a action script coder you have some choices you may not have known about. One of which is my personal favorite named FlashDevelop found at http://www.flashdevelop.org. One of the great things about this coder IDE is that you can easly create a flash, flex or Air project complete with code hinting of custom classes. the other really cool function of this IDE is how it can make getters and setters as well as Event Listener methods just by selecting the var or eventlistener and using Ctrl+Shift+1. The other really great thing about this IDE it’s completely free. There is also a great snipit and template system.
Now as you may already can tell this IDE is a stronger alternative for the Flash IDE where as people who use Flex my feel they can already do most of the things that FlashDevelop provides in the flex builder. Even then you can’t go wrong with FlashDevelop since you can compile with the flex SDK or the Flash IDE from with in one place.
