简介 Book Description
AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) is Adobe’s open-source technology that lets Web developers and programmers create Rich Internet Applications that run outside of any Web browser. This Visual QuickPro Guide teaches everything you need to know to begin creating applications that combine the rich experience of a traditional desktop application with the power and reach of the Internet. The book uses a visual, step-by-step approach and covers all the fundamental AIR concepts, without the fluff, confusing segues, and technical jargon that bog down so many other computer books. Author Larry Ullman has a well-earned reputation for writing books that are accessible, easy-to-follow, and, above all, useful. This book focuses solely on developing AIR applications using HTML and JavaScript, although formal knowledge of JavaScript is not required.

简介 Book Description:
Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) revolutionizes the way Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) are deployed. AIR supports two primary technologies, Flash and HTML/Ajax, in order to make desktop development something that every web developer can do. This book shows you how to set up a practical development environment and then walks you through eleven fully implemented AIR applications with source code that you can use as they currently exist or customize.
Each project begins by providing a discussion of architecture and design, followed by code implementation. You'll get hands-on knowledge of AIR application design and development that you can then use to build dynamic RIAs.
What you will learn from this book
*How to communicate with the computer file system
*Techniques for using and customizing the native windowing API
*How to read from and locate mp3 files on a local machine to assemble a music library
*Ways to interact with HTML and JavaScript® content within a Flex-based application
*How to use the native drag-and-drop API for opening and saving image files
*How to play H.264- and FLV-encoded video
*Techniques for restyling an HTML page off the Internet locally
*How to communicate with a local database and expand upon occasional connectivity
The release of Adobe Flex 3 featuring the AIR SDK (Software Development Kit) marks the latest advancement
in the evolution of Adobe Flash technologies. The initial version of Flash (then FutureSplash) was a
program capable of creating animations for the Web. With the later addition and revisions of the Action-
Script language, Flash was transformed into a robust development tool that lead to the creation of the
Flex framework. The initial two versions of Flex have enabled developers to create rich Internet applications
independent of the Flash IDE and with some ease. Version 3 of Flex introduces the capability to
create applications specifically for the Adobe AIR runtime, thus moving the Flash family from web-based
to desktop-based applications.
With every release of a new Flash technology, there is a mountain of new learning material — books,
videos, blogs entries, and so on. Adobe AIR and Flex 3 are no different. In fact, because Adobe released
public beta versions of their software, this effect is amplified. People are excited about the new features
in Flex 3, especially its integration of the AIR SDK. This excitement has made it easier to find out how
to use Adobe AIR, but what if you’re past that and would like to start building applications? Similarly,
some people learn best by dissecting example applications. After all, excitement fuels the need to build
something useful with Flex 3 and Adobe AIR. This book attempts to pass this excitement and knowledge
on to you.

简介 Book Description:
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

简介 Book Description:
Web applications no longer need be powered by any one individual's data, and they don't need to be confined to the desktop. Developers can draw on a wealth of publicly available content, from providers such as Flickr, Amazon, Google, Twitter, and Last.fm, and combine it for use in their own applications. Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) makes it simple to bring previously web-only applications to the desktop, allowing them to run alongside traditional applications on an end user's computer.
In this book, you'll learn how to create mashup applications from the vast array of web services, feeds, and APIs using Adobe Flash and Flex together with HTML and JavaScript (Ajax). You'll be introduced to the various sources of information and the tools necessary to gather and reuse that information, and then you'll learn how to combine that content in a variety of ways.
You'll learn how to have desktop applications interact with online services such as Flickr, you'll learn how to use Amazon S3 for enterprise-level data storage, and you'll embrace technologies such as OpenID. In addition, you'll create abstract visualizations based on music sourced from Last.fm and consume Twitter content via RSS. You will also see how to use the Flash-native data format SWX along with PHP to create a Yahoo! weather widget.
You'll discover just why you may want to build a widget or a desktop application rather leaving things web-based; then you'll create an application using Flex Builder and AIR and learn how best to distribute it. With so many tools and so much data available, the possibilities for mashup creation are endless. Creating Mashups with Adobe Flex and AIR provides all you need to get you up and running quickly, while also giving you a solid understanding of the technologies involved so you can take things further—to a place limited only by your imagination.
In this book you'll learn
* how to use Flex 3 in conjunction with ActionScript 3.0 to build powerful applications;
* how you can use Adobe AIR to take your application from the Web and onto the
desktop;
* the differences between developing for the Web and for the desktop;
* how you can use the APIs of popular web services such as Flickr, Amazon, Google, Twitter, and Last.fm as data sources for your application; and
* how to optimize your applications for fast and efficient performance.

简介 Book Description:
"Je pratique Flash depuis maintenant 10 ans et j’ai pu suivre de près toutes ses évolutions.
Flash 3 a accompagné mes premiers pas dans l'univers du web. J'ai découvert un logiciel
incroyablement accessible et dont l'ergonomie astucieuse, les outils d'animation et
d'interactivité répondaient parfaitement aux besoins de l'époque.
Quelques années plus tard, un bond de géant est franchi avec Flash MX et l'apparition de la
première version robuste du langage ActionScript. Flash est alors un outil mûr et équilibré.
Au même moment, sortent les premières versions de Flash Media Server et
Flash Remoting qui deviennent des compléments indispensables à tout développement
ambitieux.
Suivant l'évolution des créations web de plus en plus dynamiques et complexes, Flash
bascule, non sans mal, vers un outil de développement plus sophistiqué (Flash MX 2004),
nécessitant la mise en place d'équipes spécialisées. L'époque du flasheur maitrisant tout
de A à Z est révolue. Flash s'adresse désormais à deux publics distincts : graphistes d'un
coté, développeurs de l'autre.
L'équilibre devient alors précaire et la tendance à favoriser le code au détriment de
l'accessibilité de l’outil se développe. Les réalisations du graphiste ou de l'animateur sont
maintenant souvent subordonnées au travail du développeur, ce qui ne favorise pas toujours
la création.
Si Flash 8, grâce aux filtres et mélanges, ouvre de nouvelles voies à la création et redonne
un peu de place au graphiste, c'est néanmoins, le plus souvent, le développeur qui contrôle
le projet.
Flash 9 et l'ActionScript 3 représentent une nouvelle étape vers la technicisation de l’outil.
Connaître « l'environnement auteur » ne suffit plus, il est indispensable de comprendre et
de maitriser les rouages du lecteur pour éviter la réalisation d’applications totalement
instables.
Etant au coeur de la production, j'ai toujours déploré que les ouvrages Actionscript prennent
si peu en compte les réalités que peuvent rencontrer une agence, un studio, une équipe ou
tout professionnel dans son travail quotidien.
J’apprécie particulièrement l’ouvrage de Thibault pour les exemples concrets, directement
utilisables en production, qu’il nous livre. Il nous dispense justement d’explications trop
virtuelles ou d’un esthétisme superflu du code.
Fort de son expérience de formateur, il reste simple et clair au moyen d'un vocabulaire
précis, sans jamais tomber, ni dans le perfectionnisme lexical, ni dans la vulgarisation
imprécise.
Cet ouvrage va bien au delà de l'apprentissage du langage ActionScript 3 en posant les bases
de sa bonne utilisation dans Flash et en fournissant un éclairage neuf et pertinent sur cet
outil fabuleux."
