Programming Flex 2
Is there an easier way to build and deliver rich internet
applications (RIAs) other than the Flash IDE or Ajax?
Absolutely. With Adobe Flex 2, the Flex 2 SDK, and this
book, you have all you need to build RIAs. Programming Flex
2 offers you plenty of practical and useful examples that
reveal how and why to use a particular
feature of Flex 2,
and when and when not to.
As part of the Adobe Developer Library, Programming Flex 2
is the authoritative guide to this new Adobe framework. You
learn to use a markup language called MXML and a vast
library of off-the-shelf and highly-configurable components
to build Flash-based applications that combine the immediacy
of the Web with the functionality and responsiveness of
desktop applications. You also discover why -- with the
Flash Player runtime environment and the powerful
ActionScript 3.0 programming language -- the possibilities
with Flex 2 are nearly limitless.
Topics include:
Managing Layout
Working with Components
Working with Media
Managing State
Using Transitions and Effects
Working with Data
Customizing Application Appearance
Client Data Communication and Remote Data Communication
Debugging Flex Framework Applications
Creating Custom Components
Flex may be easier to learn than the Flash IDE, but you
still need a reliable guide to the framework. Programming
Flex 2 not only serves as a reference, but provides valuable
and practical insight into this new technology. As you learn
how to build Flex applications, you'll also discover how
Flex works. This book supplies all the information you need
in one convenient place.
