Digital Media Designer posed an interview with Thomas Higgins entitled “Director Is Not Dead”. More statements that Director 2007 is the next version and that Director and Shockwave are being updated for both Mac Intel machines and Windows Vista. Among other things, Tom said: “I have … made crystal clear that Director and the Shockwave Player are alive and thriving in Adobe.”
There is also a new FAQ at Adobe that states that “our current planning assumption is that the next major release of Director will be in the first half of 2007.”

Here’s a Flash jigsaw puzzle that takes the input from your Webcam or other video device and makes a puzzle from it. I’ve got an iSight on my Mac and that’s what I’ve been using to test. But I’d love for some others to test it with various machines and Webcam devices. Try it out and send me a comment.
I wish that I could also let the user select an image file from their hard drive. But frustratingly, there is no way to do so without first uploading the image to my server. You can use Flash 8 to select a file on the drive, and then upload it. But you cannot use Flash to select a file and load it locally. That doesn’t seem to make sense. I think it might be an oversight. The file selection class doesn’t give you the actual path on the user’s hard drive, which makes sense for security reasons. But it should allow you to load the image in anyway, even without revealing the path to your code. Why would it be OK to allow the user to send a file to your server, but not use it locally?

Hanford Lemoore noted in his blog that Thomas Higgins mentioned at the Casuality conference last week, and then on Lingo-L, that the next version of Director will come out in the first part of 2007.

So I noticed a lot of people are putting up these pages where you can buy a word on a page for $X and it links to your site. A marketing thing. It was curious as to how simple the code would be for something like that, so I built one. Took me a few hours. Instead of charging for words, I’m just doing it for free. Check it out.
