After Flex 4 and Flash Builder having been released last month, we are working hard to get the first Flex 4 trainings organised very soon. It is going to be a 4-day course which will guide you through the basics of Flex 4, so you can get cracking at your own first Flex 4 project. [...]
Creating default languages for automatically entered captions
…You can change the default language by going to the advanced section in the recording window.

Powerpoints in Captivate (kinda obvious, really)
Just a small entry about something which is not new in Captivate. But as, if I remember well, Adobe got this one wrong during the Ace exam (a question insinuating that either bullet-builds or links were not working after importing PPT into CP, while they both are), I’m posting this just in case.

Using conditional binding in Flex and AIR applications
