July Meeting

We had an interesting and informative meeting this month. Thanks to everyone for your contributions.

New members, Andrew and Peter, attended with enthusiasm.

Calvin showed us the difference between Flare outputs - default HTML5 vs Clean XHTML. Thanks, Calvin.


We played around a little with the Flare interface, learning about Window Layouts, File Tags, and other uses of Conditions.

We also learned about Build Events - a way to automate tasks (such as moving PDF files around) before and after you initiate a Build.

We recorded the meeting on WebEx. (Woohoo!) Here is the link:
