Life is beautiful so live it

It is with great pleasure that Adobe introduce to us the next release of the Flex SDK, code-named Hero . The Hero release has three main themes: Multi-Screen Development: Allow developers to build applications that target the web, desktop or mobile devices using a single unified framework. Spark Maturation: Polish and grow the Spark architecture by adding new Spark components and capabilities. Large-Application Development: Support developers building large applications by improving fundamental Flex infrastructure pieces. What's even more exciting is that these three themes are being satisfied by taking advantage of new features in the next generation Flash Player and AIR runtimes. As those runtimes become publicly available, you will be able to download Hero builds and exercise in-development Hero features in order to learn and provide feedback.
