Make Captivate audio available for podcasting.

I am not exactly sure how you would use this tech tip in a practical way for delivering e-Learning, but Macromedia posted the procedure so the application is up to you.

The net result is that the process described will export all the audio (1 audio file per slide) from your Captivate project for podcasting.

Flash goodness.

setPixel, getPixel, and the Flash 8 Beta bandwagon.

while of course i'm testing all existing sites with the beta Flash 8 player, i'm also playing with all the cool stuff people are "discovering".

while there are a growing number of filter experiments floating about the web, here's one i did that demonstrates the coolness of being able to draw (and query) pixels in user-created bitmaps.

Source: http://lab.artificialcolors.com/f8/color_picker.zip (or .FLA if you want just that)

yup - we're actually _drawing_ the color picker area pixel by pixel, line by line, then grabbing the RGB color underneath the mouse pointer. certainly being able to grab the color values of pixels is going to be one of those "huge" features for all sorts of visualizations and effects.

of course you need the Flash 8 Beta player, and you'll need to flip the version bit in the SWF if you recompile this code.

good times.
