Flex Capacitor Demo

With one line of code from the Flex Capacitor library and using the Flex SDK you can create your websites and projects in Flash Builder with all the power of the Flex Framework and many of the features of an HTML site*.

This is a demo of some of the features the Flex Capacitor library available now (in beta/development/open-source). These features are not present in Flash based websites without manually coding them. This adds them. It's goal is to make online content easier to create without sacrificing any power. This project's mission is to take Flash from where it is to where it could be.

The vision is that one day you will be able to use the visual design tool of your choice such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks, Flash Builder, Flash Catalyst, Gimp and so on to create your site in without sacrificing creative freedom and without limitation.

This demo is of a website created in Flash Builder (formerly Flex Builder). The complete site is 250 lines of code: 50 of those lines are styles. 100 are the layout. In Flex 4 the same layout is 50 lines. The complete site is 164kb minus the content and the Flex SDK RSL. If the Flex Capacitor library was moved into the Flex SDK the site would be 100kb.

Why use Flex? The Flex SDK already provides massive support for creating Rich Internet Applications and continues to improve. The Flex Capacitor library adds the features, functions and a framework to create traditional websites and create them in a way you are familiar with. It works seamlessly with the features and power of the Flex framework.

What's not show in the video is the code and the AIR framework. Anaphoric Information Representation or AIR allows you to run a series of actions in order using common language instructions. This part is currently in development. The behaviors / actions are there and working but the tooling that presents them in plain English are not yet built. Think of behaviors in Dreamweaver. They are some what like this.
*Some features are not present yet

To make improvements please post feedback whether you would use this or not and why.
