New Product: Macromedia Central

I had almost forgot about those warning messages found by someone trying to hack into the undocumented features on the first (?) release of the Flash Player 6. Several of them read in part “Macromedia Flash Central is required” or something like that. Since then, I was somewhat curious about the nature of that upcoming application.

Macromedia Central is a desktop application designed to let final users manage multiple Flash applications and the interaction between them, either when they are online or offline. For Flash developers, Macromedia Central will ease the way we build, distribute and charge for Flash applications.

Macromedia Central is due this Summer, and you can already get more information by visiting the beta version Macromedia Central Development Center. Additionally, there is a white-paper available here.
