Flash 8 now available to the rest of us!

downloading Studio 8

Flash 8 is finished cooking! And the Flash 8 Plugin! And the rest of the Studio too!

Colin Moock gave it an A+!

We give it an… um… well actually we’re still downloading the free 30-day trial. Because unlike every other Flash blog in the world, we somehow missed being on the beta team.* So we have some catching up to do.

But that also means that just as each of those guys posted demos as soon as the Flash 8 beta plugin was released, now the source code is coming online. So we’ll have lots of excellent files to start from.

Enough talk for now; get yourself in that download queue before it slows down, and let us know about any other great sample files, tutorials, or reviews you find!

*We in this case actually means I because the excellent crew at lynda.com mastered Studio 8 months ago, and are on the verge of releasing all the video training you will need to get up to speed… we’ll let you know when you know as soon as the new releases are available.

    I guess I was one of the other 4 guys who wasn’t on the beta either. Maybe next time.

    I wonder if the animation tools improved beyond adding speed curves.

    One of the big new features in Flash 8 is the ability to upload files. While this demo isn’t the most exciting, or as flashy as others that have been posted, it still serves it’s purpose.
