Macromedia To Launch "Flex"
Posted by Kent Pribbernow in "NEWS" @ 06:00 AM
Macromedia is expected to announce today a new product called Flex, designed to integrate Flash with web application environments. The new software will allow scripts written in Java and .NET to run on top of the web apps, which can then be broken down into XML format and viewed in Flash.
"Macromedia is in the midst of a broad effort to expand the Flash format, once mainly used to present blinking ads on Web pages, into a broad platform for delivering Web applications and content. The company has launched a Web conferencing service based on Flash, begun an experiment to run Flash applications outside a Web browser and added video and other multimedia capabilities to the format."
Sounds interesting. Can't wait to see this new technology in action. :)
