I miss macromedia flash so bad, actionscript for life

I once built a website preloader that was so large that I made a pre-preloader for it. Good times indeed.

A flash preloader was my first real tech job! As I recall, they stiffed my last paycheck and went under later.

But it was incredibly fun and I made connections that steered my career to a new direction for the next decade.

Awesome, what’s keeping you busy these days? (If this is an account where it’s OK to share that on)

Agreed, the wildest of wests.

Good I hated working in actionscript so much.

Fireworks for me. I miss that whole suite though.

Now there's a name I haven't seen in a while and that makes me a little bit sad.
