Adobe Systems has announced the public beta of
Adobe Flex 3 software, the cross platform, free
open source framework for creating rich internet applications
(RIAs).
Flex 3 gives developers the power to extend the reach of their
RIAs beyond the browser to the desktop using the new
Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) programme -
formerly code-named Apollo.
AIR has also just been released as a public beta. Using the new
Flex Builder 3 (part of the Flex 3 framework) and Adobe AIR
software, developers can create more engaging, higher-performing
applications that run both in the browser and on the desktop, said
Adobe.
Starting with Flex 3, developers will be able to freely
download, extend, and contribute to the source code for the Flex
compiler, components and application framework.
