Adobe Flex Builder
Professional v3.0.2
Quote:
Flex is a free, open source framework for
building
highly interactive, expressive web applications that deploy consistently
on all major browsers, desktops and operating systems. It provides a
modern, standards-based language and programming model that supports
common design patterns. MXML, a declarative XML-based language, is used
to describe UI layout and behaviors, and ActionScript 3, a powerful OO
programming language is used to create client logic. Flex also includes a
rich component library with over 100 proven, extensible UI components
for creating RIAs, as well as an interactive Flex application debugger.
Rich Internet applications created with Flex can run in the browser
using the ubiquitous Adobe Flash? Player software or on the desktop on
Adobe AIR?. This enables Flex applications to run consistently across
all major browsers and across operating systems on the desktop. And
using Adobe AIR, the cross-operating system runtime, Flex applications
can now access local data and system resources on the desktop.
ADOBE FLEX BUILDER 3
Adobe Flex? Builder? 3
accelerates Flex
application development. It is an Eclipse?
based development tool enabling intelligent coding, interactive
step-through debugging, and visual design of user interface layout,
appearance, and behavior of rich Internet applications. Flex Builder 3
includes the complete Flex framework including compilers, component
library and debuggers.
Flex Builder 3
is
available in Standard and Professional editions. Both editions allow
import of assets from Adobe Creative Suite 3, making it easy for
designers and developers to work together. Flex
Builder 3 Professional further adds
powerful data visualization capabilities, the new advanced datagrid,
memory and performance profilers and support for automated functional
testing for developing business-critical applications.
FREE ADOBE FLEX 3 SDK
You can get the complete Flex framework
separately
from Flex Builder 3 by downloading the free Adobe Flex 3 SDK. Developers
can create complete RIAs using only the free Adobe Flex 3 SDK. The Flex
SDK is also available as open source in the Open Source Flex SDK
project.
ADVANCED FLEX DATA SERVICES
Adobe LiveCycle? Data Services ES provides a
comprehensive set of data-enabling features for using data in RIAs. It
enables RIAs to talk to back-end data and business logic in a faster,
more efficient operating model. LiveCycle Data Services ES also enables
seamless integration with LiveCycle ES business processes and document
services.
BlazeDS is a free, open source project providing Flex Remoting and
Messaging to all developers. Flex Remoting provides a binary, serialized
data transport format called the ActionScript Message Format (AMF) to
provide a fast, efficient means of transporting data to your RIA which
accelerates application performance. Flex Remoting also makes it fast
and easy for developers to connect to back-end business logic and data.
Flex Messaging adds realtime data push and publish/subscribe, both
powerful capabilities now made easy. Using BlazeDS, you can start using
these powerful Java server integration features for free, then subscribe
to the LiveCycle Data Services Community Edition for certified builds
and support, or upgrade to the full LiveCycle Data Services ES
Enterprise edition for a complete server solution.

ILOG Elixir provides graphical data-display
components to further enhance Adobe Flex 3 and Adobe AIR rich Internet
applications. ILOG Elixir helps turn raw data into clear, actionable
information through a highly graphical and interactive user experience.
