I just got back from Pearson VUE where I took the Certified Flash Professional 8 Exam (9A0-311). To take the test I was placed at a private workstation in an empty room after having my cell phone confiscated. The same room coincidentally, that I took the Macromedia Certified Web Developer Exam in just a few years back.
Alessandro Crugnola posted on his blog a Firefox extension he created called FlashTracer that adds a sidebar panel to Firefox that will output all trace statements in your SWF. It requires the debug version of Flash Player 9. I’ve tested the plug-in out and it seems to run very nicely.

John has been working on a great 3D Framework for AS3 called Lux. You can see it in action on his blog. The depth of field feature is really nice and something I haven’t seen before with ActionScript. On his site there is a performance test available for viewing and he’s looking for feedback on framerate results. I’m looking forward to playing with the framework when that becomes available.
