Josh Dura has made a post asking what type of apps / content do developers want to see on DRK 6. Head over to Josh’s weblog and post your suggestions.

Peter Hall has put together a very cool example of the 3D Pie Chart component from the Flash Charting Components Set 2 on DRK 4. He has used the extrude depth of the pie chart to display additional information, and has added some code so that the chart morphs between data sets. You can check out the example here. You can find more information on the Charting Component Set 2 here.

At FlashForward last week, I gave a sneak peak of some of the content on DRK 4 (due out shortly). One of the things I showed was a polling sample application, that uses Flash as the interface. Well, here is your chance to check it out. This is a quick test of the poll (and is not the final version). If you run into any problems or have any suggestions, post them in the comments.

The new EDGE newsletter is out and among other things has an article about the DevNet Resource Kits (DRK), and the development process and steps behind the components on the DRK. You can read the article here. [via greg burch]

Wow. We were really blown away by the response to the DRK ad spoof contest. The creativity of some of the entries was simply amazing. So much so, that we decided to pick three winners instead of one. And the winners are (in no particular order): UI Correction Officer (Ben Gibbs) Quality Control (Mike Klepper) Mike’s Personal DRK (Anders Wikstrom) Each winner will receive a copy of the DevNet Resource Kit Volume 3 (chocked full of component and sample app goodness).

We have chosen some winners for the DRK 3 Ad spoof contest. Yes, I said winners (plural). We had so many great submissions that we decided to give away 3 copies of DRK 3. We have picked two winners already, but want to let the community vote on the third winner from the runners up. Here are the candidates: Accordion Mike Kung Fu Mike’s Personal DRK mesh Hair To vote, send an e-mail to mesh@macromedia.

I have posted another example of the Week View component from the Flash UI Component Set 5 on DRK 3. This example creates a simple TV listings browser, and uses the Week View component to navigate through the days. You can view an archived working version here This example is included on the DRK (one of the 66 component sample files). You can view the on-line docs for the Week View component here.

I have uploaded another component example from Flash UI Component Set 5 on DRK 3. This one uses the Week View component (DRK 3) as well as the Advanced Calendar Component from DRK 2. You can view a working archived version here This example is included on the DRK (one of the 66 component sample files). You can view the on-line docs for the Week View componenthere. You can find more information about the Flash UI Component Set 5 (which includes the Week View component) here.
