AS2 to AS3 without feeling like ya got kicked in the gnards

Yikes, that really should have been the title of my preso at FITC.
Well here goes nuttin' - I'm just loading up my nano, recharging my DS and trying to remember I should pack - before I head off to Toronto for this years FITC. I have spent the entire week battling sickness - the timing couldn't have been worse, but at least I started to feel somewhat human again yesterday.

Just putting the finishing touches on my preso - I had some brainstorm yesterday to build a mini apollo app to help illustrate my message - which is how to migrate to AS2 to AS3. It falls under technical which means, yes there will be code, but more of just me walking through some side by side comparisons of AS2 and AS3 to show how to "port" common tasks that designers and developers do like handle Stage resize, dynamically add items to the stage, etc.

Big shout out the peeps at IQ - they helped me create some great bumper style videos that are spread throughout my presentation - just because the topic isn't exactly the most thrilling, doesn't mean the presentation of it has to be droll too :) I'm on the last day - I think the 2:45 slot or what not - but I'll have everything posted for download, including that little Apollo app that lets ya walk through a variety of code samples.

Heh, don't be shy. Come and say hi :)
