Hello, Macromedia has released Flex v1.0 - a server-side XUL toolkit for creating Flash movies - with a US $12.000 price tag.
Flex includes its own XUL dialect called Macromedia MX Markup Language (MXML) that lets you build Flash movies using XUL tags, CSS and Javascript (rebranded to ActionScript in the Macromedia world). Example: <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";> <mx:Canvas id="square" width="100" height="100" backgroundColor="#666699" showEffect="WipeRight" hideEffect="WipeLeft"/> <mx:HBox> <mx:Button label="Display" click="square.visible=true"/> <mx:Button label="Hide" click="square.visible=false"/> </mx:HBox> </mx:Application> Note, that Macromedia also has a Dreamweaver-like design studio tool in the works for Flex code-named "Brady". Full story @ http://www.macromedia.com/software/flex and http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flex and http://www.macromedia.com/software/flex/productinfo/tooling/brady and http://www.markme.com/cc/archives/004627.cfm - Gerald PS: If anyone has tried out Flex/MXML lets us know what you think. As always please post your comments to xul-talk PPS: It looks like you can't even download a free trial from the Macromedia site. You have to buy a $10 trial CD. I guess the Macromedia marketing folks have somehow misunderstood the terms rich internet and rich clients. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
