ActionScript 3.0 Alpha Forum
By popular request, we've just launched an ActionScript 3.0 alpha forum to help channel discussions around this new revision of ActionScript, released as part of the Flex 2 public alpha program on Macromedia Labs. You can of course access the new AS 3 forum, alongside the other Labs alpha forums, at the following URL:

Flex 2 Alpha - Usability Testing Opportunity
NOTE: The usability test has completed, thanks to everyone who submitted their feedback! As such, the submission links have been removed from this posting as of 11/30/2005.
As part of our efforts to make the Flex 2 product line even better before its final release, we are conducting a study of how our customers are using the Alpha version. If you plan to build Flex applications using the Alpha over the next few weeks, we'd greatly appreciate a couple extra hours of your time to provide us with detailed feedback of your experience.
If you are chosen to participate in this study, we will pay you $150 or a single Macromedia product for each of the two meetings we will schedule. (This means you can earn up to $300 or two free Macromedia products for your time. You can choose from the following Macromedia products: Macromedia Flash, Director, Captivate, Dreamweaver or Contribute.)
The survey submission email address has been removed from this section, as the study is now complete- but we've left the survey questions for posterity's sake. Thanks for your interest!
