Life is beautiful so live it

Next release from Adobe for flash platform is Flex 4.6. Flex 4.6 is the next major step in cross-platform mobile application development. With a scheduled release later this year, the new version of the SDK and a corresponding free update to Flash Builder will offer a host of new components and functionality specifically designed to help create applications for the latest mobile and tablet devices. In next release of flex 4.6 many new components will be added. SplitViewNavigator A new top-level application component specifically designed for the tablet experience. With only a few lines of code, manage the layout of multiple views and have them adapt automatically based on device orientation. CallOutButton A versatile component that pops over existing content and can contain text, components or even entire views. SpinnerList This popular tablet component is an adaption of the existing List component. It not only has a new look, but also gives options like recirculating

We prepared a list of Misc Class in pervious article 8 Useful Misc ActionScript Class. There are more and more open source projects floating around all over the place, it's real beauty for all Flex/Flash developers. Here is a new list open source ActionScript 3 MISC libraries all of them are small but very useful. Please don't stint your time to try, these libraries can help you to improve your develop efficiency faster. 1. appcorelib Open Source Flex Application Core Library, AppCoreLib is a collection of useful classes that facilitate easy RIA development with regards to XML based data being pulled in. The general approach is that an application needs to load various content/setting files prior to loading the UI. Through a series of simple checks, an application can then load the UI once those dependencies have been loaded or alert the user if they have not. AppCoreLib provides simple XMLDataBroker classes with convenience methods that allows easy traversal of the XML dat

Codename Cirrus enables peer assisted networking using the Real Time Media Flow Protocol (RTMFP) within the Adobe Flash® Platform. RTMFP is the evolution of media delivery and real time communication over the Internet enabling peers on the network to assist in delivery. The most important features of RTMFP include low latency, end-to-end peering capability, security and scalability. These properties make RTMFP especially well suited for developing real-time collaboration applications by not only providing superior user experience but also reducing cost for operators. In order to use RTMFP, Flash Player endpoints must connect to an RTMFP-capable server, such as the Cirrus service. Cirrus is a beta, hosted rendezvous service that aids establishing communications between Flash Player endpoints. Unlike Adobe Flash Media Server, Cirrus does not support media relay, shared objects, scripting, etc. So by using Cirrus, you can only develop applications where Flash Player endpoints are di

1. Your skills will be in high demand This, in my opinion, is the main reason anyone who currently works or is planning to work as a Flash developer should switch to the new language. All major Flash work is now exclusively being built in ActionScript 3.0. You just don't see many jobs looking for ActionScript 2.0 skills. So if you plan on working with Flash in your job, learning ActionScript 3.0 is essential. 2. Everything you build will be faster Developers who have been working with Flash for a while have often been frustrated that our new, super-cool idea just couldn't run smoothly because of the limitations of Flash Player. ActionScript 3.0 offers up to a 10-fold increase in performance over previous versions of the language. In some cases, the performance has increased even more. This means you can control more objects on the Stage at the same time. If you want your project to look and perform at its best, moving to ActionScript 3.0 is the ultimate way to achieve thi

Welcome to the prerelease of the Adobe® ActionScript® Code Coverage Plug-in for Adobe Flash® Builder™, a tool that helps ActionScript and Adobe Flex® developers understand exactly what code is executed while an application is running. When added to Flash Builder, the plug-in provides a new Eclipse perspective that allows you to start/stop the code coverage tool, view generated reports, examine source code and save/load reports. Typically developers will use the code coverage tool to see which areas of code have not been exercised during execution so that additional testing requirements can be identified. The tool provides detailed line coverage and method coverage reporting, as well as highlighting classes that are not linked into the application. You can use the ActionScript Code Coverage Plug-in for Flash Builder with applications developed in ActionScript 3, optionally using either Flex SDK 3.x or Flex SDK 4.x, targeting both Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR®. A trial or license

Recently there has been a surge in discussion about Adobe® Flash® technology, and within that discussion, a fair amount of incorrect information has been communicated. Adobe would like to clear up some of those mis perceptions. Touch The Adobe Flash Player runtime was actually originally created as a technology for tablets with touch interfaces, and today, it has support for working on touch-based devices. For existing content developed with mouse input in mind, Flash Player will automatically convert the touch events to mouse events when running on a touch device. This allows content designed for the desktop to work seamlessly on touch-based devices using Flash Player. For new content developed specifically with touch in mind, Flash Player 10.1 will provide a complete set of multi touch and gesture APIs. Video Seventy-five percent of all video on the web is viewed via Flash Player, including videos encoded in the most popular codecs such as H.264 and VP6. There are many

Adobe® AIR® Launchpad beta is a new desktop tool that helps Adobe Flex® developers get started building desktop applications deployed on Adobe AIR. Simply run Adobe AIR Launchpad and select the capabilities you need; Adobe AIR Launchpad will create a ready-to-import Flex project with your selected features implemented in a way that can be easily modified and extended. You can use the resulting project as a starting point for your AIR application. Adobe AIR Launchpad creates a folder structure with a ready-to-compile AIR application with the selected features implemented. It also creates a ZIP file in the parent folder that can be imported directly into Adobe Flash® Builder™. If auto update was selected, a "server" subfolder will be created that contains the xml file needed on the server to control auto-update. If an install badge was selected, a "install_badge" subfolder will be created containing the necessary files to create an install badge. This software wa

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.

Desktop Integration Features Native p rocess API Create native installers allowing you to launch and communicate with native processes using standard input and output. Using the native process API, communicate with native libraries built using Java™ and .NET and native applications such as "grep" for file searching. You can also create operating system–specific installers (native installers). Applications that use the native process API must be deployed using a native installer. Native document handlers to open documents Open documents in popular file formats like PDF, PSD, DOC, PPT, and MP3 using the native application associated with that file. For example, opening an MP3 file will launch iTunes on systems where iTunes is the default application for MP3 files. Local microphone API Record audio locally on your device without the need for a server. UDP networking support Take advantage of runtime support for the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) to build time-sensit
