Macromedia Releases Devnet Resource Kit Volume 6
DRK 6 just came out. Starting with volume 6, future DRKs can only be bought through Devnet subscription and not by individual volume. Volumes 1-5 can still be purchased on an individual basis. I've listed what's on this DRK below, but I thought you might also be interested in some of the commentary on the blogs out there. Check out Steve Grosvenor's comments on the content and on the change in sales options, and Oscar Trelles' comments on the lack of Central content in this volume. Both of those URLs can be found at the bottom of this article.
The content of Volume 6 is broken out into the following categories-
Flash MX 2004 content - These components can only be used with Flash MX 2004:
- New Slider component
- Sample applications - AS2Minesweeper game (licensed from Phil Chung), FlashTunes (licensed from Dura Media)
- Formatting Library
Dreamweaver MX 2004 content:
