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.
