Wii + Flash = WiiFlash






WiiFlash allows you to control your Flash games and applications with the revolutionary Wiimote.

It supports multiple Wiimotes, IR bar and Nunchuk and integrates very well with Papervision3D. All you need is a Bluetooth enabled PC and a Wiimote, of course.
If you want to play with it, go and get the code and subscribe to the WiiFlash mailing list.

New Red5 Version Released

There is a new version (0.6rc3) of the Open Source Red5 Flash server. This should be the last revision before the official 0.6 release which is due out in a little over a week.

The final 0.6 will be out just in time for John Grden and I to show off some really cool features of Red5 at FITC next weekend. If you are going to be at the conference please stop in. You won’t be disappointed, as they will be demonstrating some applications using midi, 3D, live multi-track recording and more.
Here are the details about the current 0.6rc3 release:

Major changes since 0.6rc2:
- Bandwidth control code completely refactored.
- Client buffering code completely refactored.
- Keyframe informations are cached so files don’t need to be reparsed
before playback.
- Connections from Flash Media Encoder and On2 Flix Live supported.
- Access to shared objects can be limited.
- Connections can provide a list of remote addresses. This is usefull
for proxied RTMPT connections.

…and of course a lot of bugs have been fixed as well. The complete
changelog can be found in the “doc” directory after the installation.
