Anyone who knows FlashDen well will likely know Bobocel. For those of you who have recently become an author or are considering it, he has started a great thread in the forums entitled Passive Income on FlashDen For Top Authors. There is some fantastic advice here from one of the most successful authors in FlashDen history. A slew of other top authors have also given their opinions and tips (including RimV, MichaelHejja, FlashJunkie, Chuckanucka, and more), so if you want to use this holiday period to create a great passive income model check it out!
Happy Thanksgiving to all our US members! We hope you all have a wonderful holiday. 
Adobe MAX was last week and there’s some sweet stuff in the pipeline. Ted on Flash mentioned that Adobe is working to make all the sessions (4TB worth) available on Adobe TV come the first week of December. Right now on Adobe TV is a sweet series of CS4 videos worth checking out.
CoCoMo is the coolest thing out of Max this year. Instant real-time communities with 5 – 10 lines of Flex Code. Anyone should be able to drop in a chat, whiteboard or even a cam-chat pod into their site no problem and developers can take advantage of the Shared Model class to create custom real-time applications. It’s available now on adobe labs with generous beta privileges. (25 concurrent users)
Flash is coming to Android! Andy Rubin who’s Google’s director of mobile development was running around with Flash on his T1 making everyone including myself (even though I wasn’t there) insanely jealous.

There are people doing the same thing you’re doing and you don’t know them and you can’t see them, but they’re out there. When you’re on a roll, they’re on a roll. When you get stuck, they get stuck. And of the million or so flash developers in the world one or two have been stuck in the mud, same as you.
How does one account for such an occurance? What I mean is, how do you realize you’re in someone else’s shoes while wearing them? How can you tell if you’re in the presence of a million ghosts?

2 years ago when we launched FlashDen, one of the first things I did was go and register SoundDen and VideoDen thinking it wouldn’t be long before we expanded our Flash marketplace into these two areas. Over the years the names and branding adapted and about six months ago now we moved the music and sound files out of FlashDen into their new permanent home, AudioJungle.
Well today I’m happy to announce we’re almost ready to launch the video counterpart of our marketplaces – VideoHive! Launch date isn’t fixed yet, but will be this side of the new year. Most of the work has been done and Cyan and xDozex have been working up a new category system, upload guidelines and documentation. I’ve put together the new stylings and our crack team of developers has been polishing up the framework in preparation.
The new site will feature the 600 odd videos already available on FlashDen’s Video section as well as a new categorization system that includes footage and project files, a new flexible sized lightboxed video player for previewing, and a dedicated video community.
Stay tuned to the new VideoHive blog for updates on the launch as we draw near!
