Adobe announces hardware accelerated video in Flash, Apollo’s new name, and Flex 3 Beta

Welcome to the Adobe® Flex™ 3 Beta 1 release!

Adobe® Flex™ 3 was formerly known as the Moxie release.

Please note: Beta 1 is an early preview of the Flex 3 release. The goal of this release is to give the community with an opportunity to provide feedback on the feature design and to help identify bugs and missing capabilities.

Not all of the planned features have been implemented, and the product is nowhere near release quality. While we encourage you to try out the beta — Flex Builder supports developing with Flex 2.0.1 and Flex 3 — you should expect to find significant bugs and should make sure to save and back up your work often.

Flex Builder 3 is Adobe’s professional Flex IDE built on Eclipse. It can run either as a standalone tool or as a plug-in to an existing Eclipse installation. Flex SDK includes the Flex framework (also known as the Flex class library), Flex command-line compilers, Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) framework, Adobe AIR command-line compilers, the Flex debugger, the ASDoc utility, and the debugger version of Flash Player. Use Flex SDK to develop, compile, and deploy Flex applications that connect to XML and SOAP web services with no additional charges or server licensing required. This release also includes Data Visualization features (formerly Flex Charting).

Adobe® AIR™, formerly code-named Apollo, is a cross-operating system runtime that allows developers to use their existing web development skills to build and deploy rich Internet applications to the desktop.
