		<title>New Flash Extension: LIBRARY &#8211; Replace Selected by Import</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This extension adds a command that will take a selected symbol and overwrite it with an imported file, thus replacing all instances of the symbol. It&#8217;s very similar to updating a symbol, except that this allows you to update the symbol with a file that has a different name.
For example, the library might contain a [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Flash Extension: Swap Instance for Duplicate Symbol</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This extension adds a command that will take a selected symbol instance, create a new duplicate in the library, and swap the selected symbol for the newly created duplicate.
I use this command when I want to make a symbol that&#8217;s very similar to one that I&#8217;ve already got on stage. So if I have a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flash Extensions: Auto Name Package</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another set of Flash commands by request. I&#8217;ve had these on my machine for a while but haven&#8217;t released them. This extension contains 3 commands to accelerate the process of working with names in Flash. One command names your layer based on the content (assuming there&#8217;s only one object on the layer), the second command [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flash Extension: Break Symbol Into Layers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d written an extension a while back that Convert a Timeline into a Symbol. David Stiller sent me a note yesterday wondering if I had an extension to do the opposite: break a symbol out onto a timeline (and retain the symbol&#8217;s layers). I didn&#8217;t have one yet, but it sounded like an interesting challenge, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flash Extension: Switch Library Names</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I&#8217;m working quickly, I&#8217;ll often find that I&#8217;ve swapped or duplicated the wrong symbol and my library names have gone haywire. In order to switch two names, you have give one a temporary name, since they can&#8217;t both have the same name at the same time. I wrote this extension to speed up that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I found out this week that I will be presenting a lab at Adobe MAX 2009 conference in LA (Oct. 4-7). I attended MAX for the first time last year and it was jammed with interesting sessions. MAX was originally aimed at developers, but it&#8217;s grown to include designers and other professionals.

		<title>MotionBrush: Free Actionscript Class</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One idea that I had when creating the MotionSketch extension was that it could be used to do write-on effects. I was going to write an Actionscript class to demo this effect prior to releasing MotionSketch but ran out of time. So I tweaked a version of vCam to quickly demo the effect for the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Merge Textframes for InDesign Featured on Lynda.com</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just saw that David Blatner has featured my Merge Textframes script on his Lynda.com course, InDesign CS4: 10 Free Must-Have Scripts. I highly recommend David Blatner&#8217;s Real World books if you&#8217;re looking to go from knowing a topic/application fairly well to becoming an expert. I&#8217;ve read ten of thousands of pages in software and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flash Extension: Sync Symbols to Timeline</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Advanced animation techniques in Flash often make use of nested symbols. It can make animating objects much simpler and leave timelines cleaner and easier to work with. Often in these animations, it&#8217;s helpful to sync the nested symbol&#8217;s timeline with its parent timeline. That way, complex animation can be built within a symbol and animated [...]]]></description>
