A security patch for the Flex SDK is now available to address a vulnerability that will cause many Flex applications to be vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. These applications must be patched in order to protect user data. Please review this bulletin to determine if your applications are at risk and to obtain instructions on how to patch your applications.

Update To the State of Flex…
November 16th, 2011 James Polanco
Last Friday (November 11th 2011) the Flex Product team made a huge announcement about the future of Flex. The initial impression from the post, in-conjunction with the Flash Mobile announcement, caused a lot of controversy and confusion about the current state of Flex, Adobe’s overall goals with Flex and how they planned to handle Flex in the future.
Yesterday (Nov. 15th), the product team updated the post with a lot more clarity and details about what Adobe is doing with Flex. The core take-away with this update is that Adobe will be donating nearly all of the Flex eco-system (excluding the Flash Player, AIR & Flash Builder) to Apache:
We are preparing two proposals for incubating Flex SDK and BlazeDS at the Apache Software Foundation.
In addition to contributing the core Flex SDK (including automation and advanced data visualization components), Adobe also plans to donate the following:
- Complete, but yet-to-be-released, Spark components, including ViewStack, Accordion, DateField, DateChooser and an enhanced DataGrid.
- BlazeDS, the server-based Java remoting and web messaging technology that enables developers to easily connect to back-end distributed data and push data in real-time to Flex applications.
- Falcon, the next-generation MXML and ActionScript compiler that is currently under development (this will be contributed when complete in 2012)
- Falcon JS, an experimental cross-compiler from MXML and ActionScript to HTML and JavaScript.
- Flex testing tools, as used previously by Adobe, so as to ensure successful continued development of Flex with high quality
Adobe will also have a team of Flex SDK engineers contributing to those new Apache projects as their full-time responsibility. Adobe has in-development work already started, including additional Spark-based components.
Adobe also plans to continue support of current and future versions of Flex within the Flash Player, AIR runtimes, and Flash Builder. We definitely recommend reading the full post on the Flex Product teams blog.

Thanks for the great meeting!
May 3rd, 2011 Chris Griffith
I hope everyone had as much fun attending the lab, as I did giving it! If you want to do more of these type of meeting, let me or James know. Here are the intro slides that I presented.
Here are some resources that were posted last night, along with the announcement that Creative Suite 5.5 is now shipping!
Narciso Jaramillo (nj) has a great tutorial on building an app that gets the latest trending topics from Twitter and lets you see the tweets for each topic as well as who posted each tweet.
The document I was referencing during the lab can be found here.
Have fun!
FlashCamp this Saturday in SF!
April 26th, 2011 Chris Griffith
On Saturday, April 30th in San Francisco, there will be free, all day Flash Camp focusing on Flex 4.5 and mobile development. This is an excellent opportunity to get introduced to the framework or get acquainted with the mobile side of Flex. Both iOS and Playbook development will be covered. Adobe team members will be on hand to provide support. Registration (and more details) can be found here:
http://adobeflashcampsf2011.eventbrite.com
So, if you are up for a road trip to San Francisco, or have some miles saved up for the flight, head on up! For more details, you can read Ryan Stewart’s blog about it.

Flash Camp Brasil Success
April 14th, 2011 Chris Griffith
A big congratulations to Demian Borba on hosting another successful Flash Camp Brasil.
The hot news from the conference was the presentation by Arno Gourdol,
Director of Engineering for Adobe’s Flash Runtime on “Sneak Peek of Future of the Flash Runtime!”
Here are the highlights from the presentation:
- Faster GC : GC hint API and more.
- New numeric types : float and float4 (very useful for Molehill in the future).
- Concurrency : Worker threads (shared nothing model) to leverage multicore CPU’s. No more UI ‘s blocked when doing expensive operations.
- Stage3D : The API used for Molehill (that you know through the Incubator builds).
- StageVideo : Allowing full GPU acceleration (decoding + blitting) when used with H.264. Part of Flash Player 10.2 and coming to AIR soon.
- Threaded video pipeline : Will decode non H.264 streams on another thread (H.264 being decoded by the GPU), Net I/O will also be moved to another thread, all this bringing smoother playback.
If you are curious about the slides, you can download them here.
Flash Player 10.2 is Here!
February 8th, 2011 Chris Griffith
Adobe has released Flash Player 10.2 for Windows, Mac, and Linux. They’re especially excited that this release introduces Stage Video, a full hardware accelerated video pipeline for best-in-class, beautiful video across platforms and browsers. Additionally, this version of Flash Player offers all the new capabilities previewed in our beta release, like custom native mouse cursors, multiple monitor full-screen support, Internet Explorer 9 hardware accelerated rendering support, and enhanced sub-pixel rendering for superior text readability.
