Many Flex books cover the basics—this book does something different, and goes far further. The authors, leading Flash platform developers at Almer/Blank, working with Adobe User Group communities, are the creators of the Rich Media Exchange (RMX), a social media network for Adobe developers. In covering just how the RMX was built, this book contains all the knowledge you need to build similar large-scale Rich Internet Applications with Adobe Flex.
In this book you’ll learn how to
- Effectively plan, wireframe, specify, develop, and release large-scale Flex applications, and discover what other development tools you’ll want to start using immediately
- Make your Flex applications look less like Flex with advanced styling and skinning techniques
- Harness advanced Flex form features, including coding validators and building your custom form components
- Implement a robust advertising system for a Flex application using OpenAds
- Build powerful, custom multimedia players in Flex, including video players with the native VideoDisplay class and from scratch, and music players with advanced sound visualization
