Hot off the presses, the official Adobe technology platform ActionScript reference for RIA development is now available. The notebook-format document provides a complete ActionScript 3 API listing for Flash Player, Flex 3 and Adobe AIR.

Just saw a post from Lee Brimelow about the SWF Decompiler 4 from Sothink which fully supports ActionScript 3. This is the first decompiler to fully support the latest version of the ActionScript language. The ethics of decompiling notwithstanding, this tool does an excellent job at peeking into SWF files. Please use responsibly :).

Coming to you live from the 360Flex Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, I’m happy to announce the official release of Flex 3 and Adobe AIR 1.0!
As you may have heard, Adobe has announced the release of Adobe Flex 3 and Adobe AIR 1.0. Now that the cat is out of the bag, this will be the focus of our March 5th special meeting! Adobe is sponsoring this meeting with food, giveaways and a raffle copy of Adobe Flex Professional.
Flex 3 is a feature-packed release, adding new UI components like the advanced datagrid and improved CSS capabilities; powerful tooling additions like refactoring; and extensive testing tools including memory and performance profiling, plus the addition of the automated testing framework to Flex Builder.
Adobe AIR is game-changing in so many ways, delivering rich applications on the desktop, enabling access to the local file system, system tray, notifications and much more. Now you can write RIAs on the desktop using the same skills that you’ve been already using to create great web apps including both Flex and AJAX.

Since the last meeting had a live coding demo by Sean, I thought I would take the time and recreate the code for the group. I did change things a little. The data feed is the main public Twitter feed. I take the user’s icon and last tweet and combine that into one element for use in the List component. If you click on the icon, I display an alert with the user’s name.
I put the mxml files up on the Google Groups site
See everyone at the next meeting!

A great presentation by Luke Bayes and Ali Mills (from such projects as ASUnit and and ProjectSprouts), discussing a handful of the available Flex Frameworks and which they’ve found to be the best. If you’re unfamiliar with Frameworks for flex or why you’d want to use one, spend a little time researching Cairngorm and PureMVC (two of their favorites) before watching the presentation. There’s a great series of articles introducing Cairngorm HERE, and you can read up on PureMVC HERE. When you feel comfortable with the idea of what a framework is and why you’d want to use one, then it’s time to watch these guys tear into some of the best options and nail down the pro’s and con’s of each!
