Re: [Flashcoders] Flex 2 and Flash 9 Press Releases

FYI, the (free) Flex SDK works fine for me on linux (since it's java based).
Also the standalone player runs under Wine (even if a bit slow), so I can
test simple apps.

Thanks for the reply David,

What I'm really hoping for is the Eclipse IDE plugin AKA Flex Builder
2. I realize I can build Flex 2 applications without it, but I love
using Eclipse for AS2 and Java development, so it's logical for me to
want the AS3 editor and all the other tools it comes with. It looks
like the Flex Builder plugin has some seriously useful features that
hopefully users of other platforms can eventually take advantage of.

Adobe, Anyone?

Hi,

Expect a post on the Flex team blog ot Matt's blog in the near term.
The team is hoping to provide some roadmap info on this as soon as
possible. Bookmark www.flex.org and/or use the link to the Flex blog
aggregator at the upper right of that page (which is really just a smart
search on MXNA.)

Re: [Flashcoders] Flex 2 and Flash 9 Press Releases

2006-06-29 Thread David Rorex

Unofficially they say a beta is coming 'real soon', and 'before the end of
the year'

gnash isn't even to flash 7 yet. so the official player is still ahead. i
predict flash 9 for linux will be out before gnash 8 is solid. it's a nice
idea, and perhaps can be something installed on distros by default to give
some flash support, but it will never be able to catch up with the official
player (since they are always making new versions).

The Eclipse Source edition as passed earlier this night you can find 
some mac folders, with a eclipse config ini-file:


#Eclipse Runtime Configuration File
#Thu Mar 31 18:10:37 PST 2005

I am not sure what the folder in the Application Support folder should 
include though. The compiler seems to be java too.

that you can add something for Flash 8 to compile AS3 natively.

This seems pretty clear to me...
This preview extends the
capabilities of Flash Professional 8 to include support for the new
ActionScript 3.0 language in Flash Player 9.
http://www.adobe.com/go/labs_flash9as3preview_downloads
Did you follow the wrong link


No, man, it's the same link. It takes you to Flash Professional 9 
ActionScript 3.0 Preview which is the installation for Adobe Flash 9 
Public Alpha. See:



Flash Professional 9 ActionScript 3.0 Preview This preview of the 
ActionScript 3.0 feature which

is planned to release in the next version of the
Flash® authoring tool, scheduled for release in 2007,
extends the capabilities of Flash Professional 8
software to include support for the new ActionScript
3.0 language, enabling you to take advantage of the
new ActionScript virtual machine in Adobe® Flash Player 9.


Like I said, it says extends Flash 8 because it IS basically just Flash 8 
with AS3 support, but still Flash 9. It's not an extension for Flash 8, 
but rather a new installation (that requires that you have a valid Flash 8 
license, but still a separate application).



If there's such an extension to Flash 8 for it to support AS3, it's not 
that.
