下载 Adobe AIR 起步

简介 Book Description
AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) was first introduced by Adobe in early 2008 with the goal of offering a
cross-platform runtime for the development of desktop applications. Although there are some platformspecific
features, the AIR APIs make “write once, deploy anywhere” possible for the development of
desktop applications.
What makes AIR unique is that the languages used to produce AIR applications are not new languages.
They are languages that have been used in Web development for many years. These languages include
HTML with JavaScript (AJAX), MXML (Flex), and ActionScript. By making it very easy for existing AJAX
and Flex/Flash developers to write desktop applications, the time to learn it is extremely brief for those
with experience in these languages. This should also help the adoption rate of the AIR development
platform.
This book follows a step-by-step process, walking you through the features of the AIR development platform.
It is designed to get you familiarized quickly with many of the features of AIR. I highly recommend
that you continue your learning process by understanding and using the ActionScript and MXML documentation
that is provided by Adobe.

简介 Book Description
This is a book about Adobe AIR for Flash and Flex developers. Although it’s entirely
possible to create AIR applications using HTML and JavaScript, this book focuses
exclusively on using Flash and Flex to build AIR applications. The AIR APIs are
remarkably similar in ActionScript and JavaScript. However, we found that trying to
address all the JavaScript nuances at the same time as the Flash and Flex nuances
would have resulted in an unfocused book. We opted instead to hone in on just Flash
and Flex.
It’s possible that some readers will still feel that we’ve tried to cover too much territory
by including both Flash and Flex coverage in one book. That is a fair critique.
By including both, we necessarily had to compromise at certain points, opting to
show code examples more suitable for Flash at some times and code examples more
suitable for Flex at other times. Although this can be seen as a weakness, we also see it
as a strength. We think this provides a greater context for understanding AIR, and it
allows you to make better decisions about how best to solve a problem when building
AIR applications. Ultimately, you’ll make up your own mind about whether our
approach works well or not, but we certainly encourage you to view the book from
our perspective.

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
* Connect Flex to the ColdFusion application server, creating Flex applications powered by dynamic server-side code
* Take your web applications to the desktop using Adobe AIR
