( 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 ) »Videos from the MAX 2005 General Sessions are now available at Macromedia's website.
Mike Downey has posted the demo files from his "Building expressive content with Flash 8" session at MAX. I was not at MAX, but I decided to download them anyway and take a look. What I found most interesting was a set of Flash 8 Cartoons that showed off the new features of Flash. They're very entertaining shorts, and feature cameos from Jakob Nielsen, Guy Watson, and Jesse Warden. Definitely worth checking out.
Update: Nectarine has posted these Flash 8 animations on their website.

Update: Jen deHaan's notes from the keynote mention that Kevin Lynch announced there have been 1.5 million downloads of Studio 8 so far.
