The Romain and Chet Show
Part 1 - Effects in Flex by Chet Haase
Abstract
One of the most powerful things about the Adobe Flex platform is the ability to easily create rich, compelling user experiences through the built-in effects library. On some platforms, creating animations can require a lot of knowledge about animation programming, a lot of code to get things working, and a lot of prototyping to get things right.
But with effects and state transitions built into the Flex platform, adding animations to your Flex applications far simpler, often boiling down to single lines of declarations to tell the system what effects to run and when to launch it.
In Flex 4, effects are better than ever, taking advantage of new capabilities in the Flash player and in the Flex language and platform to offer increased functionality and power for better and more dynamic user experiences.
Come to this session to learn how Flex effects work in general and where we are taking the effects library in the latest release of Flex, Flex 4.
