Flashforum Tour 2005 - one of the biggest flash conventions in Germany, Switzerland and Austria - takes place from 19. to 27. September 2005. Various talks are held in Berlin, Hamburg, Duesseldorf, Muenchen, Zuerich and Wien.

I am myself talking in Berlin on 19. September about fundamental and fancy functionalities of the As2lib.

It is going to be great!

We have just released a new version of the as2lib - Open Source ActionScript 2.0 Library - 0.9.2.

Highlight of this release is the revised Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) framework.

• WithinPointcut - Capture join points based on their lexical-structure.
• NotPointcut - Capture pointcuts based on characteristics they are not allowed to have.
• ’super’ - Advised join points can use ’super’ now.
• And of course a lot of bug fixes were made.
