Evenin' all:
I posted four new OSMF recipes on Adobe's cookbook site this afternoon, and thought you might care to see 'em:
Playing Multiple Pieces of Media, Consecutively, with the OSMF ParallelElement
Playing Multiple Pieces of Media, Concurrently, with the OSMF ParallelElement
Dynamic Streaming with OSMF
HTTP Streaming in OSMF
And, as a reminder along these lines, I'm teaching this year at MAX, as a MAX Master, on 'Designing Custom Video Players with OSMF' (you can browse the catalog of talks and presentations and then you can register here).
Share and enjoy!

I've finally started work on my OSMF lab for MAX, 'Designing Custom Video Players with OSMF' (you can browse the catalog of talks and presentations and then you can register here).
As you may know, OSMF 1.0 has been release, so one of the first tasks I set for myself was to test the code I wrote in April for OSMF 0.95 (which I posted, along with the screencasts of my talk at FITC, here). And, lo and behold, all of them worked!
Well, all except one. The final demo file, the Full Sample Player was playing, but the video was invisible and all the controls were disabled. So I set out to figure out why. (For those who don't want to read to the end, you can download the updated project file, for Flash CS5, here.)

Good evening, faithful readers:
I just received word this morning that Adobe has made me a MAX Master Speaker. This is the inaugural year for the MAX Masters program, and it means that I have had an average rating of at least 4.8/5 from at least 50 MAX attendees.
I consider this designation a real privilege. I take my speaking engagements very seriously, and it is nice to feel that effort rewarded in such a tangible way — especially in the context of a conference like MAX, which has so many high-level speakers.
I'm currently set to run a lab on building OSMF video players, but I believe that I will also be giving my Practical AS3 lecture, as well (the version of that same talk from last year's MAX is viewable here, on Adobe TV).
The MAX Session Scheduler has gone live. Check it out. And see you in November!

Howdy all:
I know blogging's been light for the past several months. Work here at Almer/Blank has had me pretty consumed.
But, as I gear up and prepare for a busy autumn of talks and courses, you can expect some heavier posting.
First up, I'll be presenting at FITC San Francisco — the first SF installment of the really amazing FITC conferences.
