Having been involved with Post Secondary education for over a decade and an active member of the international, national and local New Media Communities, I have jammed a lot of experience into a relatively short time frame. Nine books in seven years, a ton of speaking engagements , Adobe Community Expert, Community MX partner and other activities are a good example of that one. The biggest honor so far has been my being lumped in with a group of 10 influential Flash Designers that Adobe pulled together to celebrate the 10'th anniversary of Flash. I hope you enjoy my contributions to Activetuts+!

    Great!!! it seems that they improved the components inspector pannel and called it “Compnent Parameters”.

    Another great quick tip with video you create, you´re the “videoman” here!
    Congratulations!

    Nice introduction to the flv playback component.

    Doesn’t look like much has changed since CS4, except for previewing the video. Cool feature, although I’m not sure that I would ever use this.

    IMO moving settings for the flv playback component to the properties panel doesn’t make sense. It’s a component, so why wouldn’t it’s settings be in the component inspector? If they want to make the switch to the properties panel, they should do it for all components and remove the component inspector all together. Seems like a step away from consistency.

    Live playback is cool, beside that not much else I would consider “new”. Good screen-cast though thank you.
