ELIPS Studio 3 is leading the next generation of mobile application development environments. Now software developers and creative designers can quickly develop connected or non-connected applications... and deploy them on multiple mobile platforms. ELIPS Studio 3 is equally valuable for experienced mobile application developers who want extra productivity, and for Adobe Flash / Flex and web developers who want to reuse their RIA / RDA assets and create rich mobile applications. What problems does it solve? Until now, application developers needed in-depth expertise in all the mobile operating systems if they wanted to address a global market of over 4 billion phone users. And not just every operating system: they also had to understand the differences between the individual models from each manufacturer. ELIPS Studio 3 cuts through the complexity of the fragmented mobile market by providing a single development toolkit for the world&#39;s most popular handsets. It includes a sophisticated simulator, and the code it generates is compact and rapid enough to run even on low-specification, mass-market handsets. How does it work? 1- Develop in Adobe Flex/Flash Builder ELIPS Studio 3 is available as a plug-in for Adobe Flex / Flash Builder, a popular IDE for the development of RIAs and RDAs using the ActionScript and MXML languages. 2- Use our mobile Flex Framework The product comes with a mobile-optimized version of the Flex Framework and a wide range of Flex extension libraries, including mobile device features and UI components. These provide additional capabilities beyond those found in the &#39;standard&#39; Flex, such as making voice calls, accessing the phone&#39;s address book, sending SMS or MMS, taking snapshots or videos with the camera, and more. You can also import open source ActionScript Web 2.0 libraries. 3- Build and deploy for the mobile platforms you want ELIPS Studio 3 automatically mobilizes and packages your Flex-based applications for industry-leading platforms, including iPhone, Android, Symbian, Windows Mobile, plus proprietary mass-market devices that run Real-Time operating systems (RTOS). And because Open-Plug has a long track record of creating optimized code for cellular handsets... you?ll get amazing performance with your new Mobile 2.0 applications! <a href=&#34;http://www.openplug.com/products/elips-studio&#34;>Find out more...</a> http://www.cflex.net/shownewsitem.cfm?NewsID=846 2010-07-16 ColdFusionMX,Flex,Macromedia,CFMX The Internet is evolving fast to match up to the rising expectations of the users. The web now supports applications that have features and functionality of desktop resident software. All this is possible because of a very advanced technology called Adobe Flex. Flex is used by professional Flex developer to create superior web based applications that impart user interactivity for better experience. Clearly, the enterprises are recognizing the prowess of Flex development and are hiring professional Flex developer who can expertly deliver an RIA which not only automates the business processing but also helps the enterprise to improve employee performance and hence increase their productivity by multiple folds. With the release of Flash Builder 4 and Flex SDK 4 Adobe has aimed to go big by adding features that help the Flex developer code faster and better. Even the testing is made easy, and the Flash Builder 4 tries to bridge the gap between a designer and a developer, and it has been successful in doing so. For enterprise application development to be good, the Flex developer needs to have considerable experience in Flex development so as to utilize the features of Flex platform optimally and implement business data analysis and charting systems in the enterprise applications. All this can be easily implemented through the charting library of the Flex SDK that helps in getting you a business intelligence system. Companies are looking for Flex developers who can unite the organization wide business processing by deploying a one-stop-shop like RIA that can take care of all the business development requirements of all the departments and unify the data centrally. The openings for Flex developers are worldwide as everyone is readily accepting the web based applications with desktop like functionality built on the Flex platform as these apps give more features with lesser codes. The code is easy to understand and maintain as it is well structured and a Flex developer who knows some of the good Flex development frameworks can create functional components that can be reused, extended, and modified at will. http://pr-usa.net/index.php?option=com%5Fcontent&task=view&id=425884&Itemid=31 2010-06-30 ColdFusionMX,Flex,Macromedia,CFMX by Stephen Shankland Google is among the biggest proponents of a collection of Web technologies that reproduce many important features of Adobe Systems&#39; ... http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20009244-264.html 2010-06-30 ColdFusionMX,Flex,Macromedia,CFMX 64-bit versions of Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux now are in widespread use, and software for the operating systems is following suit. So it may seem a bit backward that Adobe withdrew its only 64-bit version of Flash Player. But don&#39;t take the disappearance of Adobe Labs&#39; experimental 64-bit Flash Player for Linux as a sign of things to come. Moving its widely used browser plug-in beyond the 32-bit era is a &#34;top priority,&#34; said Tom Nguyen, Adobe&#39;s Flash Player product manager, on Saturday. However, Adobe isn&#39;t committing itself publicly to a delivery schedule. And if it doesn&#39;t move with some alacrity, it risks inflicting broken Web sites on computer users who do make the 64-bit shift with their browsers. Plenty of people would be perfectly happy to see Flash fade from the Web, ranging from those who resent how it enables intrusive advertisements to those who are actively working to reproduce much of Flash&#39;s abilities in Web standards such as HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). But there are also innumerable people who rely on Flash for online games, interactive charts, video streaming, and other uses. Those who switch to a 64-bit browser without a suitable version of Flash could find the Web doesn&#39;t work as they expect. http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20008290-264.html 2010-06-21 ColdFusionMX,Flex,Macromedia,CFMX ... to reduce the need for proprietary plug-in-based rich internet application (RIA) technologies such as Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight and Sun JavaFX. ... http://www.techleader.co.za/readerblog/2010/05/11/will-adobes-flash-survive/ 2010-05-12 ColdFusionMX,Flex,Macromedia,CFMX Sorenson is delivering big changes for version 2, such as moving away from Adobe Flex in favor of Ajax and jQuery, to create a faster, more responsive ... http://www.streamingmedia.com/Articles/News/Featured-News/Sorenson-360-V2-Aims-for-the-Top-67117.aspx 2010-05-12 ColdFusionMX,Flex,Macromedia,CFMX Morgan Stanley?s Matrix is an ambitious project which should have taken the financial platforms and information delivery to the next stage. Built jointly with Adobe the Matrix utilized much of its advanced technology in order to create a Rich Internet Application (RIA). The look and feel was exceptional, if to judge by the demo site which now doesn?t seem to function. http://www.morganstanley.com/matrixinfo/ ? was open to everyone and showed a beautiful flash demo of the platform and its rich features such as trading, research, data mining and human filtered content. http://forexmagnates.com/morgan-stanley-shut-down-the-matrix-project/ 2010-05-12 ColdFusionMX,Flex,Macromedia,CFMX Granite Data Services 2.1.0 RC1 is out. You may download it, as usual, on Sourceforge here. There are 4 archives available under the &#34;granite / granite-2.1.0.GA&#34; package: <P> <ul> <li> graniteds-2.1.0.GA.zip: contains binaries (jar/swc) in the build folder, examples projects, and sources. <li> graniteds-jdk14-2.1.0.GA.zip: distribution compatible with JDK 1.4. <li> graniteds-webcompiler-2.1.0.GA.zip: contains binary and sources of the MXMLC/AS3 web compiler. <li> org.granite.builder_2.1.0.GA.jar: contains both the Gas3 Ant task and the Eclipse builder as well as sources. </ul> The upgrade from GDS 2.0 should be relatively seamless, but it&#39;s recommended to upgrade both the gas3 generator and the GDS runtime libraries simultaneously, and to regenerate all your entities. <P> This final release includes some bug fixes and improvements since the 2.1.0_RC1 version, see complete Jira changelog here. <P> Main new features since GDS 2.0 are: <ol> <li> Gas3 can now generate typed as3 client proxies for your services, either with the RemoteObject API or with the Tide API. Many thanks to Francesco Faraone and Saverio Trione for this great feature. <li> Gas3 can now generate a default flex-config.xml configuration file including default compilation options and including all as3 classes of the project. Using this configuration file should avoid the dreaded ArgumentError remove the need for dummy variables. <li> Easier configuration for Spring and Seam similar to the Spring-Flex project : possibility to use of DispatcherServlet or SeamFilter instead of the GraniteDS AMFFilter. Adding GraniteDS to a Spring or Seam project now requires one line in applicationContext.xml or components.xml. <li>Early support of JCDI components (JSR-299/Weld). GraniteDS supports JCDI conversation contexts and client side typed event observers. The graniteds-tide-jcdi example requires the latest JBoss 5.2 trunk or GlassFish v3 build 70 minimum to run. <li> Early support of Hibernate Validator 4 (JSR-303). The remote validation features can now be used with HV4. <li> Improved client data management features : Tide is now able to detect concurrent updates conflicts and allows conflict resolution by the user, either with data push or by intercepting JPA OptimisticLockException. <li> Simplified configuration for Servlet 3 containers. You may now configure GDS with a Java class annotated with the @FlexFilter annotation. <li> New ActionScript3 reflection API. This API will be used in the upcoming AS3 validation framework (JSR-303 like) but may be used right now in your projects instead of describeType calls. </ol> Many of these new features (and some others) have been described in details on <a href=&#34;http://graniteds.blogspot.com/&#34;>GraniteDS blog</a>. http://www.cflex.net/shownewsitem.cfm?NewsID=837 2010-03-31 ColdFusionMX,Flex,Macromedia,CFMX The Adobe Flex ecosystem has experienced significant growth in the last years, with a plethora of community driven projects and deployments. ... http://www.infoq.com/news/2010/02/flex-viabililty 2010-02-19 ColdFusionMX,Flex,Macromedia,CFMX Key2Flex, the first and only Adobe Flex Solution Partner in the Philippines, is today relaying that Adobe Systems Incorporated has been placed in the Visionaries Quadrant of Gartner, Inc?s most recent report.

And until recently, this was also an argument for why BI software should be used on premise. After all, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) application is by definition based on a browser, which will never provide the same level of visualization as a rich local client. <P> But much of that thinking is about to head by the wayside as more providers of SaaS applications move to add support for next-generation Web interface powered by development tools such as Adobe Flash Flex or Microsoft Silverlight. <P> Birst claims its BI application delivered as a service, which uses Adobe Flash Flex, not only make it easier to distribute BI data, but also to discern what is happening in that data through the use of next-generation visualization tools. Birst CEO Brad Peters says he knows other SaaS providers will be embracing Adobe Flash Flex or Microsoft Silverlight to make their wares more appealing to their users. But in the meantime, Peters said Birst will have a distinct advantage, not only in terms of overall presentation, but also because it?s designed as a service that can work with local data so nobody has to spend hours loading data into a system before anybody can actually use it. <P> As for the changing face of Web applications, for now advances such as Adobe Flash Flex or Microsoft Silverlight are associated mostly with consumer applications. But as applications such as Birst show, a revolution in the way business applications are presented as a service is in the offing as well http://www.itbusinessedge.com/cm/blogs/vizard/bi-as-a-service-gets-a-makeover/?cs=39497 2010-02-17 ColdFusionMX,Flex,Macromedia,CFMX BARCELONA?Adobe announced a version of its Air software for smartphones and demonstrated Flash 10.1 running on Google Android-powered phones at the Mobile World Congress here, pledging to extend the company&#39;s Flash technology to every smartphone out there, except those made by Apple. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2359678,00.asp 2010-02-17 ColdFusionMX,Flex,Macromedia,CFMX NET platforms to less-expensive alternatives such as Adobe Flex, Apache Tomcat, Dojo, Google Web Toolkit, and other open-source platforms and frameworks. ... http://www.javaworld.com/community/?q=node/3974 2010-02-01 ColdFusionMX,Flex,Macromedia,CFMX
