I decided today that I'd do something new for once, so I decided to try out one of MacrAdobe's new technologies. I chose Flex, as it looked interesting. Flex is basically Flash, but instead of being designed for designers, it's create for people who code websites and applications.
The actual language of it is a fork of XML - once you've finished making the XML, the program compiles it into a normal Flash SWF file, and then you can use it as you'd expect to.
For my project, I created an RSS reader with interfaceThe whole site including RSS reading code and all the interface and text is a tiny 31 lines of code
It's pretty nice looking as well, very Web 2.0.
If you fancy trying out Flex, visit the Adobe Flex homepage, where you can download either the SDK or a 30-day trial of Adobe Flex Builder 2.
To see what I made, go to http://www.tim-rogers.co.uk/flex/Lessons.html!

Nice and all but wont catch on. Simply because its not accessible enough also to comply with accessibility standards people would need to create 2 websites.. 1 HTML and 1 in Flex. Also many of these effects can easily be achieved with javascript.
So well done to you for making it. Meh to flex.Last edited by Splinter; 31-03-2007 at 04:05 PM.
