FOREWORD

It’s been over a decade since FutureSplash, the predecessor to Macromedia Flash, and then

later Adobe Flash, was first released; who could have imagined back then that a simple

vector-based animation tool would evolve to become a robust platform for delivering expres-

sive content, rich Internet applications, and high-quality video across a multitude of browsers

and operating systems.

Today, Flash encompasses more than just a browser plug-in and corresponding authoring

tool; the Flash platform provides web, desktop, and mobile runtimes, together with frame-

works, tools, servers, and services to enable designers and developers to create high-impact

experiences.

Flash Player remains at the core of the platform, with each release offering new capabilities

and further improving performance. Building upon the addition of a new high-performance

virtual machine for executing ActionScript code in Flash Player 9, the release of Flash Player

10 adds support for 3D transformations, custom filters and effects, advanced audio process-

ing, and GPU hardware acceleration, enabling an entirely new class of experiences not previ-

ously achievable on the Web.

As you look to deliver an engaging experience in a way that is convenient, relevant, and per-

sonal to the user, it is important to consider whether the browser is always the most appro-

priate access point. For example, applications deployed to the browser typically are not

available when the user is offline, they are constrained within the browser chrome, they

don’t allow common application interactions such as drag-and-drop from the desktop, and

they limit access to files and information on the user’s local machine. For some applications,

these limitations cause user frustration and a desire for a richer solution.

With the release of the Adobe AIR runtime, Flash designers and developers now have the

opportunity to build Flash-based applications that run on the desktop, with new capabilities

to extend application functionality and overcome some of the limitations experienced when

running inside the web browser. Adobe AIR builds upon the features already found in Flash

Player, offering, for example, unrestricted local file system access, as well as providing a ver-

sion of WebKit for rendering HTML content and SQLite for the storage and retrieval of local

data.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Marco Casario is one of the most dynamic developers and consul-

tants in the Adobe world.

He has been passionate about informatics since he was little more

than a child and used to program games in Basic for Commodore 64

before dedicating himself, while still very young, to innovative proj-

ects for the Web using Flash and Director (as far back as versions 3

and 5).

In 2001, he began to collaborate with Macromedia Italy. Since that

year, he has produced and headed a long series of presentations,

conferences, and articles, which you can find listed in detail in his blog entitled “Hands on

Adobe World” (dppl6++_]o]nek*^hkco*_ki+), which is currently receiving several thousands

of visitors every day.

In 2005, Marco founded Comtaste (sss*_kip]opa*_ki+aj+), a company dedicated to explor-

ing new frontiers in rich Internet applications and the convergence of the Web, the desktop,

and the world of mobile devices. MobyMobile (sss*ik^uik^eha*_ki+) and YouThruBiz (sss*

ukqpdnq^ev*_ki+) are representative of Comtaste’s recent work.

Marco is also the founder of the biggest worldwide Flash Lite user group (dppl6++cnkqlo*

u]dkk*_ki+cnkql+Bh]odHepa+) and of AUGItaly (sss*]qcep]hu*_ki+), a reference point for

the Italian community of Adobe users, in which he carries out the role of content manager

for the section dedicated to Flex and AIR (sss*]qcep]hu*_ki+bhatc]h]+).

He's a professional speaker who regularly speaks at international conferences like Adobe

MAX, Flash on the Beach, Flex Camp, Multi-Mania, FITC, 360|Flex, AJAXWorld, O'Reilly Web 2.0

Summit, Adobe Live, and many other local events.

His company, Comtaste, is currently busy working on the development of some very ambi-

tious projects concerning banks and financial agencies, and various Flex and Flash Media

Server training activities for the creation of rich Internet applications on behalf of companies

including Accenture, HP, Capgemini Engineering, and Adobe Systems Software Ireland.

Marco is also the author of the following books: Adobe AIR Cookbook (O'Reilly, 2008),

AdvancED AIR Applications (friends of ED, 2009), and Flex Solutions: Essential Techniques for

Flex 2 and 3 Developers (friends of ED, 2007).

where he has engaged with designers, developers, web agencies, and

organizations to help them deliver rich, engaging, and successful web

and desktop experiences.

Koen De Weggheleire is a faculty member of the Technical University

addicted to the community and inspires it through his blog at

sss*jasikrea_hel*_ki+, and by speaking at various events including

Adobe MAX, FITC, 360|Flex, Flashbelt, and Flash on the Beach.

He coordinates the yearly Belgian multimedia conference Multi-

Mania (sss*iqhpe)i]je]*^a+), where thousands of people come together to learn from

industry experts and share knowledge.

Koen is a coauthor of Foundation Flex for Developers: Data-Driven Applications with PHP, ASP.

NET, ColdFusion, and LCSD (friends of ED, 2007). He’s currently working on AdvancED AIR

Applications for friends of ED, and even more AIR books from Koen are on the way.

When there is still some time left, Koen can be found at his company Happy-Banana, together

with Wouter Verweirder, doing Flash platform consultancy on advanced award-winning rich

Internet applications.

When Koen is not talking ActionScript, you can find him producing music, collecting goodies,

eating pizza, or renovating his 100-year-old house.

Matteo Ronchi is a Comtaste consultant. His main job is development in the multimedia and

web technology fields. His professional path started in 2000 as a 3D graphics designer for

product design and virtual environment visualization. Soon, following his passion for games

and Internet technologies, he moved from 3D to web development, mainly using Flash and

Director as core technologies. In the last two years, his work has mainly focused on ActionScript

and Flex programming. In 2007, he began speaking at international conferences such as

Adobe Live, From A to Web, and 360|Flex, mainly focusing on Adobe AIR development.
