Things still moving as usual on the Flash team
I’ve had several people ask me if there were any changes to the Flash team since our merge with Adobe completed and I’m happy to say that everything is pretty much business as usual in our group. I turned in my paperwork yesterday so I’m an official Adobe employee now. I must admit that it still feels a little weird to say that but at least more people will recognize my employer when they ask me who I work for (you know, the Photoshop/PDF/Acrobat/Flash company!). 
I’ve also found that my new colleagues are really great, passionate people who have a lot of the same great characteristics of the former Macromedians. I think this is all going to work out really nicely.
We’re working hard on Blaze so keep that feedback coming.
Thanks everyone!
Mike Downey
Product Manager, Flash | Adobe Systems

Of course if you felt that it wasn’t going to work out, it is not like you could say it. So I hope it is true.

Will the bytecode for Flash 8.5 be published? A bunch of people here and there are ramping up to reverse engineer it, but that would be waste of time if you are willing to publish it.

that’s a very very comforting thing to know, mike.
it’s a hard feeling to decribe, seeing the adobe logo in the top left of the MM site.
I actually felt it in my chest.
Being a self-taught, and now professional FLASHER I hope in a big way that the crew with the ‘i know what flashers like’ mentality are still going as strong as ever.
version 8 is actually proof of that.(absolutely incredible)
