I would like to see how flash can be integrated as part of a page, communicating with other parts to integrate with a whole experience that includes dhtml, xml, and ajax, etc. Basically, let flash do what flash does best without dominating the whole page. Should this be part of the discusion?

In reply to Devin:
That is exactly what we will cover. We will show Flash as the team player that is can be in order to enhance the web experience. This means communicating with javascript and dynamic scripting outside of Flash.

Flash is a great tool and not enough developers know how to use it in the best possible way to reach the widest audience. I would be interested in hearing what these folks have to say, and I am happy to see that this is an advanced topic. I am expecting not only discussion but how-to handouts.

Kathy - I know that the panelists are planning to provide specific how-to handouts.
