Proposal - [Best Practices]

Note: I think this might wind itself up under the Forum Guidelines/Suggestions threads but it sort of fits here too so I’m just gonna stop babbling and write my little proposal.

Hullo all,

I realize that a lot of Kirupa members fall in the beginniner - intermediate level developers. I don’t see a lot of us answering questions on Flashkit all that often. :slight_smile: What I’m constantly bothered by, and I’m sure most of you that aren’t still trying to grasp the basics of Flash, is that there just does not seem to be a resource or forum that often talks about best procedures in Flash.

Things like the best ways to optimize files, dealing with XML, externally loaded FLVs/SWFs, naming conventions…there are a million “little things” that one has to run in circles to find any information about.

So I’m a big fan of, instead of just posting when we’ve got a question, posting what I’d do for a specific problem and seeing how others would handle. In this respect, we can all learn to be better developers from our own experiences.

I’ve attempted posting these sorts of things on Ultrashock and tried on Were-Here (though my password somehow disappeared from there), so with this forum I’ve decided to kind of gauge the interest. I really think a forum or maybe a weekly posting discussing any number of these various little issues could help to localize in one spot research on Macromedia’s Tech Notes, information from blogs and tutorials, and just all around “well this is what I would do” information.

Thoughts?
