New Features,
Enhanced Features,
You can get more details on each form Flash Player 10 New Features.
With the release of Flash Player 10, some people are saying the end of era – Flash Player 9.
But I don’t think so, it will be so, soon. The way – with Jet speed – FP9 got its presence in computers world wide, I don’t think so same way FP10 will also get its presence.
What do you think ? Let me know about your comments.
Anyway, I really like Flash Player 9 – Start of AVM2 – era.
Good bye Flash Player 9
Welcome Flash Player 10
It seems Flash platform is Flexing . . .

Note : Same post as previous one.
Folks,
Today, I come to know another one Gem of Flex.
A need arise in my one project, while my development,
I have to create same functionality as done in HTML.
i.e. HTML – Body tag we provide backGround image with size ” fixed “.
<body style=”background:url(images/background.png) fixed”>
So, when ever we scroll the contents,
the background image will not be scrolling, only contents will scroll.
Same type functionality, I need to achieve in flex.
So I dwell deep into Flex frame work and got one more Pearl…!!! Oh, that’s consistent.
That’s why I like flex more than oteher tech.
This time, the pearl is, style property : backgroundAttachment
The ” backgroundAttachment ” is of mx.core.Container class style property.

Flex is really going Innovative ways.
Now you can be a, Flex 3 Contributor. Solve 3 Bugs from Flex Bugs list JIRA and you will get a Flex Book of your wish from Amazon by Adobe Flex Team. Isn’t it amazing…!!
This is rally a very innovative way to make community more aware and to understand the details of the SDK of Flex 3 (Flex frame work) with ActionScrpt 3, as well as AIR.
Even you can get MAX 2008 registration.
One more thing which like, too is :
Flex is in real mean an Open Source.
Enjoy flexing . . .

I got one query, how to close Popups ( TitleWindow, Panel etc. ) just by clicking on Modal.
A functionality which we found in HTML / Javascript based modal (with lightbox ), some thing we can see now a days in Yahoo Mails, when we see images attached in our mails.
See, Modal is actually a FlexSprite instance in Flex frame work (same as well for AIR ). The Modal is created by SystemManager in Flex.
So, if we want to just close ( or to perform any business logic ), it is very easy, just listen for an Event.
The event is : ‘ mouseDownOutside ‘ .
A simple example is as below…
There are two files : 1) ModalTitleWindow.mxml 2) ModalClose.mxml

Great,
A very nice update from Adobe Labs for AIR ( Adobe Integrated Runtime ) :
Today, Adobe announces AIR Update Framework.
Now, AIR applications can search for their updated versions very easily.
Guys, I think, now, we may see some Tough & Strong Antivirus applications on sleek and glossy Flex, Actionscript and AIR, too.
The significance of this Update Framework is, the AIR applications made with Flex – Actionscript 3 and HTML – Javascript, can be easily updated.
The functionality present in update framework assists developers in the following:
* Periodically checking for updates based on an interval or at the request of the user
* Downloading AIR files (updates) from a web source
* Alerting the user on the first run of the newly installed version or performing data migration
* Confirming that the user wants to check for updates
* Displaying information to the user on the new available version for download
* Displaying download progress and error information to the user
Though the framework is in Beta Phase, but still it is worth full to use it at this moment and to get expertise on it from, now.
Enjoy Flexing . . . . .

Adobe has kept their promise towards ‘ Open source ‘ softwares.
Adobe has released Flash Player 10 ( beta Astro ) – Documentation
Really Flash Player 10 has many more new features like for 3D, New Support for Text, Improved Fillers and Effects etc.
Some newly added packages and Classes in Flash Player 10 are as below.
Go and get it from… here
This will really improve the development of AIR applications with Flex and Actionscrpt 3.
Above all these, One thing Adobe missed out is improvement over Zooming. ( Yes, there must some improved support for Zooming like ” Deep Zoom – of – Silverlight )
