Flash MX 2004 Easter Egg
Well, it seems Macromedia didn't change the URL in the about box to reach the Easter egg SWF for Flash MX 2004. The URL is http://www.macromedia.com/go/flashegg2.swf. You can read more about Flash MX Easter egg here.
But just today, one of our customers submitted a JPG file he found in the about box SWF:
Unfortunately I don't know whose picture this is. Post a comment if you recognize him...

I have had this info on my site for sometime, but at the time I thought it looked a bit like Daniel Dura??
When I asked Daniel on CentralDevChat, he said it was him, but he may have been in a drunken stupper at the time;-)
There is also another egg in there.

Thanks for the link. I wasn't aware of it.
Though I knew about the 'John Malkovich' thing, never considered it as an Easter egg somehow, fool of me.
