- sometimes there’s a developer involved in the concept phase. Hopefully there is. I love this part of the project. It’s where I get to help introduce useful, helpful technology and solutions that can make a measurable business impact. It’s a common decision all developers need to make, and it’s something that should be of interest to both developers and designers. This is where the hand-off occurs with most assets, and interactivity has a significant impact on how those assets need to be provided and implemented. There are quite a few options and many developers I speak with only know and use 1 or 2.

- 1) Show Flash Pro setup 2) Show FDT setup 3) Direct Beaker 4) Extended Beaker 5) Wrapped Beaker
- 1) Simple SwfLoad 2) Embedded swf 3) LibraryManager
- Demo on my blog What is LoaderMax: load xml, swf, images, data, video, audio, css
- Flex only Embed assets are compiled into the initial SWF Can load just the source or specify a symbol’s linkage identifier
- Asked friends for some great stories of tackling these challenges. These stories represent a good symbiotic workflow between dev and design
