I now own all four halo colors

The other day I noticed on Lee Probert's blog that he bought himself a fancy new hex color from MyHexColor.com for the grand total of $1.

So I'm proud to say that I'm now the owner of the following four "halo" colors: haloBlue, haloGreen, haloOrange, and haloSilver.

I just noticed on the Adobe Flash Builder Labs page that Flash Builder 4 beta 2 is available for download; http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs_flashbuilder4 (Release Notes)

Also, head on over to the Adobe Flex Developer Center and check out the following articles:

Got questions? Visit the Labs forum for Flash Builder 4. Found a bug (or have an enhancement request)? Visit the Flex Bug base. Also, don't forget about the Adobe Flex Cookbook (which has a growing number of Flex 4 beta posts). And finally, please go check out the excellent Flex 4 Beta 2 documentation; Flex 4 Beta 2 documentation live.

BETA ActionScript 3.0 Reference for the Adobe Flash Platform released on help.adobe.com

I just "tweeted" this, but thought it warranted a nice little blog post as well.

The documentation team released a cool new version of the Adobe Flash Platform Language Reference (which includes all APIs from the following products: Adobe Flash CS4 Professional, Adobe AIR, LiveCycle Data Services, Adobe ColdFusion, Adobe Flex, and Adobe Flash Player -- as well as the Text Layout Framework (TLF) classes). And the great news is, you can filter content based on Runtimes (Adobe AIR and/or Flash Player) as well as by Product (Flex, Flash Authoring, LiveCycle, and/or ColdFusion).

Adobe Cookbooks 2.0 site launched

I just saw over on the ADC (Adobe Developer Connection) blog that they've released an updated version of the Adobe Cookbooks online application (or if you're looking for the Adobe Flex Cookbook specifically, check out http://cookbooks.adobe.com/flex).

Also, head over to the Developer Connection site and read Ed Sullivan's exellent "Introducing Adobe Cookbooks 2.0" article.

Update: Wow, there are quite a few more Cookbooks than I expected:
