Flex 3 is the next generation of a technology that revolutionized web
applications. It is the next evolutionary step of Flash, which has grown
from a web animation medium to a powerful enterprise web design and
development platform. With nearly 98% of all web browsers, and a growing
number of mobile devices, running Flash Player, a knowledge of Flex is
indispensible for any serious web developer. This book will show you how
to create powerful Rich Internet Applications using Flex 3. After
learning how to install and becoming familiar with the basics of the
Flex Builder 3 software, you will explore in depth how the Flash
scripting language, ActionScript 3.0, interacts with Flex’s powerful
XML-like design language: MXML. You’ll learn how to construct your
applications using layout and navigation containers, and how to move
between various states using transitions. There is coverage of how best
to plan your applications and use the Model-View-Controller pattern to
keep various aspects of development separated and ease creation of
potentially complicated projects. Rich Internet Applications rely on
data, and this book shows how to bring data from various sources into
your Flex application and check its integrity, and how best to display
and interact with it. Going farther, applications built for the Flash
platform can now exist and function beyond the traditional confines of
the web browser. Adobe AIR allows you to take your applications to the
desktop, and this book shows how to reapply your Flex skills to take
advantage of this new environment. The Essential Guide to Flex 3 takes
you through all the powerful features of Flex using a series of
stand-alone, practical exercises. The skills acquired throughout the
book are then brought together in the form of a full-featured case study
application showcasing essential techniques that can easily be applied
to your own Flex applications.
In this book you’ll
- Learn how to create powerful applications using Adobe Flex 3
- Use Flex Builder to design layouts using Flex MXML containers, and
see how to combine MXML and ActionScript 3.0
- Work your way through a full-featured case study, building a
complete Flex application
- Connect Flex to the ColdFusion application server, creating Flex
applications powered by dynamic server-side code
- Take your web applications to the desktop using Adobe AIR
