Flex 4.6 and AIR 3.0 New Features for Mobile Apps

with James Talbot



In this course, James Talbot reviews the new features in Adobe Flex, Flash Builder, and AIR for mobile application developers. The course covers the Spark components for building mobile user interfaces in the Flex SDK, and the AIR support for native extensions, which enable applications to use parts of the host operating systems that were previously unavailable. The course also describes new testing and network monitoring capabilities available with Flash Builder 4.6, and the ability for Android applications to be deployed without relying on a separate runtime. Exercise files are included with the course.
Topics include:
  • Controlling adaptable tablet layouts
  • Controlling view hierarchy
  • Using 16-bit and 32-bit render modes
  • Using the Date Picker, Scroller, and List components
  • Adding a splash screen to a mobile app
  • Using native extensions for iOS and Android
  • Testing with FlexUnit on Wi-Fi
  • Packaging the application for release
