Welcome to the Nebraska Macromedia Users Group

This group has been created to support the users of Macromedia products in Nebraska. This site is driven by the needs expressed and questions asked on the NEMMUG discussion list. If you are interested in participating, please see the box to the left.

While discussion of Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash will most likely tend to dominate this group, feel free to ask questions about Freehand, Shockwave or whatever Macromedia authoring product you wish. There are people on the list with a wide variety of skills and experiences.

The Latest and Greatest

Macromedia Contribute
Macromedia Contribute is a great new piece of software for those that need to edit web sites but do not need the power of Macromedia Dreamweaver. Many of you have been asking for something like this for quite a while and here it is. It is currently only available for Windows, but a Macintosh version is in the works. Click here to learn more.

DevCon 2002 Keynote Videos Available
The first and second day keynotes are available for viewing on the Macromedia website. This is a great opportunity to not only see some of the information that was presented there, but to see video streaming with Flash. If you find yourself with decent internet access and some time to kill, check it out!

Macromedia Studio MX
Macromedia Studio MX was released at the tail-end of May of 2002. It contains the previously released Flash MX and Freehand 10, plus the much anticipated Dreamweaver and Fireworks MX. This is a huge release for Mac users as these products will now all run native in Mac OS X. This is also a very nice release for Windows users as they now have the advantage of working in Macromedia's new full screen, tabbed interface. Currently, this wonderful UI improvement is available only for Windows. Click here to learn more.
