Today Adobe announced the launch of some new beta releases for the Adobe Flash Platform. These are Flash Builder 4 (formerly Flex Builder), Flash Catalyst and the open source Flex 4 framework SDK.
Adobe will challenge the LAMP stack on the Linux platform for rich Internet application development with its AIR technology...eventually.
Adobe Apollo is now AIR - Adobe Integrated Runtime and the easiest way to develop for AIR is Flex Builder 3 (beta). The Flex 3 SDK is also available on Adobe Labs with nightly builds as well as a public bugbase.
I’ve been playing around with Adobe Flex for a few days. Heard about them open sourcing the Flex SDK later this year. Didn’t think much of it, since it was already free. Then I read this from Dana. Maybe Dana has been wearing OSS goggles for a few too many days, but come on.
Adobe hopes to attract more developers to their Flex platform by releasing its SDK under terms of the Mozilla Public License.
There are multiple methods of debugging applications, including the very cool FusionDebug, log files, ServiceCapture, and the debugging rolled into Flex Builder 2 itself.
I was working on a Flex project when I hit a brick wall. I had a very simple form.
Last month I wrote an article about how to use FlashVars in a Flex application.
I saw Pikeo featured on Techcrunch after which I signed up and tried using it.
With the release of the new updates for Windows and Mac, besides fixing a bunch of bugs, Flash Player 9 will support Full Screen Mode on the web straight out of the browser. Adobe labs has the full details for you complete with Publish Template for Flash, Flex Builder and Sample Application.
