Illustrator CS4 has Transparency in gradients!

As some one who started in flash for vector designing using illustrator was kinda a learning curve because you did not have transparency in gradients, instead you had occupancy masks. Now I’m sure occupancy masks will always have their place, but HELL YEAH it’s about time and good job adobe! CS4 will be the first time I everĀ  want to use illustrator for vector work instead of flash

Does Flash Media Encoding Server mean the end of the Flash Media Encoder for the desktop?

Adobe has made very little head way about the new Flash Media Encoding Server. So the question that I think is on every ones mind is what does it do? Well any one who has used the flash media encoder for the desktop will tell you that they wish that application was a server so they could provide that same encoding ability dynamically for end users over the internet. So that brings up the question is this a new innovation to replace the desktop IDE?

No matter how you look at it, this is gonna be a great new rescroce to flash and flex developers and designers. Lets just hope it does not cost a lot $$$$.
