Adobe
Day Zero
Well, I’m off to download and install Eclipse IDE from eclipse.org. This will be my development environment. Then I’ll get myself the Flex™ 3 SDK from adobe.com. After that is installed I will go to www.asdt.org to install Action Script Development Tools. AXDT is a set of plug-ins for the Eclipse Platform that enable you to write ActionScript3 code in an integrated environment. AXDT is based on Eclipse Imp and utilizes the opensource FlexSDK.
Once that’s done I’ll post the results.

PS
It is almost three in the morning, so far so good. I sucessfully compiled a sample AS source as well as MXML source.
Diaries of my Flex™ Adventure
I already have some experience (like almost a year), with Flex™ 2 and AS2. I gained it while writing a Lightroom® web gallery. To cut a long story short, everything was fine until I wanted to see the results of my work inside LR. No va monsieur le developer! Since the gallery looked fantastic, at least to my eyes, I decided to spend some more time on it.
You are welcome to check the prototype of the gallery here and here. The difference between these links is that they use different configuration file. Normally you should be able to double click on the slide to view a full size image. This does not work however. I did something in the code and forgot to undo it.
My Flex™ Photo Gallery
Not that I expect anything to change now, but I decided to have another go at it using free Flex™ 3 SDK, Eclipse and few other tools that I will list in the next post. This blog will document my efforts in a hope that it my just help someone, in a not so distant future, to get started in RIA.
So, until the next post,
