Hello Flash Juggler Users,

We apologize for all the inconveniences caused by our website. Our servers when down and our ISP has to provide us with new ones and with all this moving we lost a lot of time.

We are not back online and we are running some tests to be sure that all of our systems and modules are working perfectly.

In today's world, monetizing web video is largely experimental, and it's clear no one can predict which methods will prevail. Adobe understands this challenge and is taking a leadership position to help drive standards for media players. Adobe will provide a standard media player framework, code-named Strobe, to enable the creation and delivery of high-quality, monetized video experiences. Strobe simplifies the development of media players by allowing developers to assemble pluggable components from Adobe and partners in the Adobe® Flash® Platform ecosystem.
