Programming ActionScript 3.0
Flex Builder 3

Welcome to BlazeDS! BlazeDS is the server-based Java remoting and web messaging technology that enables developers to easily connect to back-end distributed data and push data in real-time to Adobe® Flex™ and Adobe AIR™ applications for more responsive rich Internet application (RIA) experiences.


The Adobe® AIR: Browser vs. desktop
The Adobe® AIR™ runtime complements the browser by providing the same application development and deployment benefits while adding desktop integration, local data access, and enhanced branding opportunities. An emerging design pattern for rich Internet applications (RIAs) is to deliver a browser-based version of an RIA in the browser for all users and an RIA on the desktop for more active users.

- This page has examples that covers every thing. -- use these along with Flex Builder 3 IDE download ( stand alone not Eclipse Plug-in )

- ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook: Solutions for Flash Platform and Flex Application Developers - asr: seems Good ready to use problem solution book .
- Each code recipe presents the Problem, Solution, and Discussion of how you can use it in other ways or personalize it for your own needs, and why it works. You can quickly locate the recipe that most closely matches your situation and get the solution without reading the whole book to understand the underlying code. Solutions progress from short recipes for small problems to more complex scripts for thornier riddles, and the discussions offer a deeper analysis for resolving similar issues in the future, along with possible design choices and ramifications. You'll even learn how to link modular ActionScript pieces together to create rock-solid solutions for Flex 2 and Flash applications.

When you're not sure how ActionScript 3.0 works or howto approach a specific programming dilemma, you can simply pick up the book, flip to the relevant recipe(s), and quickly find the solution you're looking for.



From Java to Flex
- 0. Flex handles all the translation between Java and ActionScript classes.
- 1. The simplest use allows a Java developer to expose Plain Old Java Objects (POJO's) as back-end services via a simple configuration. Objects are transferred to the client in a compact binary format called AMF3 and converted to ActionScript 3.0 classes, which is far more efficient in the transferring and rendering time than other implementations, like XML. Combining Data Services with the popular Java POJO-based frameworks, like Hibernate and Spring, creates a truly powerful combination for building enterprise applications.

- 2. LiveCycle Data Services ES deploys in a Servlet/J2EE container and provides significant server-side infrastructure to Flex applications. Data Services offers a number of features, including remoting, publish/subscribe messaging, and data management (client-server synchronization, paging, notification, Hibernate adapter, etc).
