Today is my first day in my new cubicle in the new Macromedia office at 601 Townsend in San Francisco. All Macromedia employees that used to dwell in the dungeon at 606 Townsend are in the new building as of today. Pictures are coming tomorrow or maybe later today, I promise. For now, here are a couple from the architect.
Also, here is a little map of how the three Macromedia buildings on Townsend Street are situated to each other.
Danny Patterson on Community MX has written an article about E4X in which he speculates on what an ActionScript implementation may look like.
E4X stands for ECMAScript for XML. It's a standard that was published in June 2004 which specifies native XML types, including XML, XMLList, QName and Namespace, for ECMAScript. As ActionScript is based on ECMAScript, the E4X spec may be of interest to ActionScript developers. If you want to read the entire 100+ page spec yourself, you can do so on the ECMA website. Or you can read Danny's article for $3 if you want a more palatable overview.
What's interesting is that two people from Macromedia are listed on the E4X spec as contributors: Jeff Dyer and Gary Grossmann.
