For the first time ever, all of the "Sneak Peeks" from this year’s MAX have been recorded and posted on Adobe TV! Many people say the sneak peeks are always the best part of going to MAX! If you weren’t at MAX you can now check them all out! You won’t want to miss Image Deblurring, Rubbadub, Local Layer Ordering, Video Meshes, and of course Monocle and Reverse Debugging. :)

Hi Everyone, AMMUG will resume normal meeting times now that summer semester has ended.

The next meeting will be August 25th at 11AM. Location to be determined. Reserving conference rooms seems a bit challenging at the moment.

Topics: MAX 2011 Travel Arrangements. Show and tell, and going over the new Adobe Educational teaching packages

You may already be familiar with Wallaby , Adobe's converter from Flash (.fla) to HTML 5 tool which has been available on labs.adobe.com for a couple of months now. There have been some good examples of using this in tandem with the new Flash capabilities in InDesign CS5+ to produce interactive and animated publications that can run on any platform including iOS devices. However, Adobe has just released something new called Adobe Edge, not to be confused with their video news magazine of the same name. This new Adobe® Edge is a web motion and interaction design tool that allows designers to bring animated content to websites, using web standards like HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS3. It's definitely worth a look! For more see this article form Mashable with a video preview.

Relocate method

WordPress supports an automatic relocation method that will figure out and update those values for you automatically. This method is intended to be a quick assist to getting a site working when relocating a site from one server to another.

To use it:

1. Edit the wp-config.php file.

2. After the "define" statements, add this new one:

define('RELOCATE',true);

3. Go to the wp-login.php page in a web browser.

4. Login as per normal.

When the RELOCATE flag is set to true, the Site URL (NOT the home setting) will be automatically updated to whatever path you are using to access the login screen. This will get the admin section up and running on the new URL, but it will not correct any other part of the setup. Those you will still need to alter manually.
