Mario has solved the Wiimote problem on the Flash Player in an ingenious way. He sets the scale of one SWF to the keycode captured in JavaScript and uses the resize event of the Stage to capture this value and pass it to the actual movie using LocalConnection. Rock on, as John would say! :)

I hope you've had a wonderful holiday season and that 2007 will be a bright new chapter in your life. It's definitely started out that way here in Brighton, where we are having a most wonderful sunny day.

2006 was as full a year as I've had in recent history. I had the honor of presenting at a number of conferences internationally, including FlashForward Seattle and FlashForward Austin in the US, Multimania in Belgium, Wizards of OS in Germany and Flash on the Beach and d.construct, here in the UK. This year is already off to a running start and I still can't believe that I'm going to be flying to San Francisco in just four days to present at MacWorld, followed by PixelReloaded in one of childhood playgrounds, the lovely and aromatic Singapore. What a dream come true! :)
