Hero Components for Flash 10.1 on mobile devices 1
Entry posted on Oct 03 by matt.Pollitt , tagged Mobile,Development,News

Make sure to check out the hero flex components for flash 10.1 on devices.

we have run a couple of tests in the studio, and the performance on the nexus one is very encouraging! Check out the attached video to see it in action. (thanks to Manesh for the video!)

You can read more on Hero for mobile devices by downloading the whitepaper, and keep an eye on the Hero SDK site for the latest news and releases!

What mobile development features will be added to the Flex framework in “Hero”?

“Hero” will include new capabilities specifically designed for mobile development, such as a new construct for managing “screens” of an application, and the ability to scale applications automatically on devices with varying pixel densities. New skins and functionality designed for mobile form factors and input methods (e.g. touch-based scrolling) will be added to a number of existing Flex components, and new components will be added to support mobile-specific UI patterns. Finally, the Flex mobile features will encapsulate design principles and guidelines that make it easy to create applications that work well across a range of native platforms.

What features of the core Flex framework will be available for use on mobile devices?

A major advantage of the unified framework approach is that it will enable developers to leverage much of the power of the existing Flex framework in mobile applications, including key features such as dynamic layout, view states, data access, and Spark UI components. Certain Flex features that are not optimized for mobile use (such as the original “MX” component set) will not be recommended for mobile applications.
