Maybe people hate the things we create with Flash, such as heavyweight advertisements you can't easily stop - but that's the programmers fault.

Personally, I am interested in educational applications, so AS3 is great: very powerful with amazing potential. Just look at what Away3D manage to do: http://away3d.com/showcase/

Isn't AIR is the obvious choice, and not Flash, when you want avoid browser multiplicity?

Re: [flexcoders] You are the product

 

Right the key point is maintain the AS3/Flex development platform and export to JS. Nobody will change backwards to program JS if you taste AS3 ;)

The holy grail is to create something that "doesnt require flash" but can be "programmed with as3" or something similiar and runs on a browser "without any plugin".

Do browsers in other devices really stick with "one version" of javascript?
If between browsers, under windows, we don´t got a javascript running without a hole bunch of workarounds, what is the difference for others devices?

You don´t wanna flash? I can understand that. But you will need something real to get the juice. You will need RIA.

JavaFX can be an option. Silverlight already is, once the win8 got to devices. But none of then will work on iOS. Probably only silverlight will work on win8/metro ( 'will not run plugins... a side the ones from microsoft' ).

I will stick with flash/flex for the time being and still waiting on the "next best thing" involving RIA and Web.

All that adobe needs to do is, start attempting to replace the current JS with AS3. 

Currently AS3 is a compiled language and JS is an interpreted language. Now can adobe come up with an interpreter for as3?

I feel the same way. I just dislike JS and going from ActionScript to JavaScript is a step back.. a big one.
If you know Java, you're in luck 'cos with GWT you can just write Java apps and they get compiled to JS (with html/css) and you
still get to use Maven/Spring/Hibernate and do all the OOP stuff and whatnot. You don't have to look at javascript at all, let alone
write a single line of it !
As I mentioned earlier, if FlashBuilder would do something similar, I'd be all over it.
And it can be done, haXe already does that.

RE: [flexcoders] Fill pdf form with Flex

 

I wrote a Flex app that shows a dataGrid with SQL data via ColdFusion.

 

The end user clicks on a line item in the dataGrid and a little ColdFusion app bundles the selected data into a little XML file… launches… and hydrates the pdf.

 

The blank pdf form was created using Adobe’s LiveCycle Designer (bundled with Acrobat Pro) .
