Aftermix, Invites, and Remixer
Ryan Stewart, who keeps growing on his uncanny ability to find stories, posted a link to the Aftermix invite form in a blog post last week.
We won't be allowing everyone into Aftermix for the short term as we still work like mad on the beta version. But I hope everyone still fills out the form to check this out, and I'll also be posting a way to make sure your request is selected. (And sorry but it won't be a Flex quiz.) There's also the invites at 360Flex.
Last but not least, a very late congrats to the team at Adobe for the Remixer app on YouTube.

Testing a SWF From a Remote Location
Recently someone taught me a neat trick with Charles. I had a SWF that was loaded in a much larger SWF and HTML page, but I didn't want to build these other pieces. I had access, however, to a testing site where the SWF/HTML pages were located, and with this I could use "Map Local".
Map Local allows you to map URLs to local directories. This means that you can test a SWF that should be on a remote site. It's incredibly useful for the large project problem I was having or for debugging problems on a live site.

My Flex Bugs
As you've probably already heard (even a half hour later, from the blog posts I just saw), Flex 3 is available for download and the bug base is now open to all.
I wish I had a little time to play with it, but it's a weekend and week of heavy Aftermix coding. I had to spend a few minutes, however, to run this amusing JIRA report:
Since it's been seven months since I worked there, that's a good indication of how open they are being with the bug base. And I'm excited to see how many of the bugs are fixed!
Unrelatedly, I keep meaning to write more about 360 Flex and my talk on Aftermix there. When I figure out what exactly I'm going to say, I'll write some more here.
