What's new in Flex 3 Beta 2 ?? HUH??


Matt Chotin

It is a great time to be a Flex developer. In June 2006 we released Flex 2, a lineup of developer tools, libraries and runtime services that enable developers everywhere to build and deploy rich Internet applications that take advantage of the Flash® Player runtime. Flex 2 has been hugely successful with tens of thousands of new developers, a vibrant community that shares tips, tricks, and code, dozens of commercial and open source components and other add-ons, and of course hundreds of new applications built, with more coming online every day. In the short lifetime of Flex 2, we've seen Flash Player 9 follow the traditional penetration pattern of previous Flash Players and reach over 94% penetration in mature markets (as of September 2007). Finally, we were pleased to see Flex win its second Jolt Award, this year in the web development category.


We've also seen great success with LiveCycle Data Services ES, formerly Flex Data Services. LiveCycle Data Services ES enables developers to build applications that are not only rich in terms of user interface, but also in terms of how data flows between tiers, and also in terms of the innovative services these applications can offer. With new features like LiveCycle ES application integration, PDF document generation, and integration with more frameworks such as Hibernate and Spring, LiveCycle Data Services ES provides the ultimate solution for connecting RIAs to J2EE infrastructure.



Flex 3 features

The Flex 3 release is divided into four major themes: designer/developer workflow, working with data, Adobe AIR applications, and platform evolution. Let's quickly review some of the highlights:

  • Native support for Adobe AIR – Flex 3 introduces new components and incorporates the Adobe AIR development tools into the SDK and Flex Builder.
  • Persistent framework caching – You can make Flex 3 applications as small as 50K when leveraging the new Flash Player cache for Adobe platform components.
  • Flex Builder productivity enhancements – Flex Builder 3 introduces refactoring support, new profilers for performance and memory tuning, and code generation tools for data access.
  • Integration with Creative Suite 3 – The Flex Component Kit for Flash CS3 allows Flash CS3 users to build components that can be seamlessly integrated into a Flex application, while Flex Builder 3 adds new wizards for importing assets from CS3 applications as skins.
  • Advanced DataGrid – The Advanced DataGrid is a new component that adds commonly requested features to the DataGrid such as support for hierarchical data, and basic pivot table functionality.
  • First steps toward open source Flex. As a first step toward making Flex an open source project, we've opened up the Flex and Flex Builder bug tracking system to the public, as well as published detailed roadmap information.
