Adobe Flex 3 is a development environment used to create both windows and desktop applications that can be run on Windows, Mac or Linux systems. Adobe Flex is used to create programs with Actionscript 3 and MXML. It is perfect for Rich Internet Application Development and is easy to learn-- especially if you already know HTML or Actionscript programming. Adobe Flex 3 is similar to Flash, but the environment uses a screens metaphor instead of timeline metaphor for development.

This tutorial takes you through developing your very first interactive application in Adobe Flex. The tutorial is in two parts. This is part one of two.

If you'd like to see a written version of this tutorial it's available on LearnToProgram.TV's web site (www.LearnToProgram.TV). Please feel free to share this tutorial with others.

This video is hosted by long time corporate technical trainer Mark Lassoff. In the tutorial Lassoff will guide you through creating three controls in 'code' mode and compiling and running your first Flash application.

[saiazad]

is flex builder 3 a free software ?

[LearnToProgramDotTV]

@saiazad No. While the Flex Platform is open source and free, the Flex Builder software is available from Adobe. Adobe does offer a free trail on their web site if you'd like to try before you buy.

@sachinabey FlashDevelop, Eclipse/FDT(Flash Development Tool). if you ask me you should take FlashDevelop. i hate FlashBuilder.

@LearnToProgramDotTV I think the major problem of Flex Platform is that the beginner doesnt know that Flex is Free and you can use Eclipse with it and have a ultra-similar interface to Flas Builder

@AlexanderLee1 Wow I need to watch the whole video before commenting; it is based on Eclipse.

[AlexanderLee1]

That IDE looks a hell of a lot like Eclipse, icons and all.

Hi are there any free alternatives to flex builder, considering its open source and all?

Cheers
