The Flasher List

The Flasher List is an open discussion list serving the community who build and develop applications using Flash, it includes many of those who are responsible for Flash itself!
A couple of important things - the list is fairly technical, so you might want to refer to the Flash Tech Resource at Flash Central for answers to many basic and common Flash problems. The Resource includes links to technical notes at Macromedia and other sites devoted to Flash.
The volume of postings on this list is normally quite high, if you don't want to deal with numerous individual email postings, you might want to try the digest list. The digest is exactly the same but clumps email together and sends it out as a block every so often.

The Flasher List comes in two separate versions (Regular and Digest).
You must subscribe and unsubscribe to each separately.
