Still no Lions

Jun 24, 2007 // by Tuomas Artman // No Comments

Again shortlisted at Cannes this year, and still no Lions. UPM Forrest Life, which was one of the two finalists, is in my mind one of the best productions we’ve done in the past year, so I was a bit disappointed that we didn’t get a Lion to bring home. But what the heck, this just leaves us even more hungry for next year. Growl.

And yeah, only two projects were shortlisted from Finland, and both were made by us. So either we’re really good or then the overall quality of Finnish interactive agencies is quite bad. I would actually guess its both.

Flash Player script caching

Huh, Ted revealed that Flex 3 will launch synchronously with a new minor release of the Flash Player. New features? Script caching! Visit a site that uses a specific Flex framework and the framework gets downloaded. Visit a second site that uses the same Flex framework and the framework will be loaded from cache, and only the application is downloaded.

And if you’re developing Flex (and Flash) projects for a number of domains under your control, you can use the script caching to deploy a single, only once downloaded runtime shared library for all your apps.

Script caching is something we’ve been talking about with Lari over oh so many Gin & Tonics. Luckily in this case, the walls must have had ears.
