Flex

I fallen across Adobe flex. This should have some interesting uses in conjunction with knowing flash well. A flash front end can be made in flash then used in conjunction with a flex site coded in Xml. This site is compiled using flex which happens to be open source under the buzzy MIT license.

A logistical powerhouse? The vector cability’s of flash are complimented with a fun artistic environment to develop in. It also sports a powerful scripting language that is much funner than javascript even if it may be slower. The scaling power of the vectors that can be enlarged.

When hear about things like Burst “a javascript vector animation engine for the HTML5 Canvas using jQuery and processing.js that supports SVGs, Blender3D objects, timelines, easing, command chaining and callbacks.” my pants get wet, and i’m reminded of the “good”. One second thought the Animation for burst is not so impressive. I wonder how long this took to make?? the doms just too slow and the more objects that use it the slower it seems. Slowing the frame rate may help?

Adobe is good.

I still question my flash gallivanting..
