“What’s new in FP10.1 and AIR2″ slides and source files

Posted by on Feb 25, 2010 in Events | 7 comments

Earlier this week I did a presentation on all things new in Flash Player 10.1 and AIR 2 at FITC in Amsterdam. While it’s impossible to cover everything in an hour, it should give you a good idea on some of the new features.

You can download the sources as well. I’ve included both the Flex project files (.FXP) as well as the mxml files for those of you that are not yet on Flash Builder 4. Remember that you must have the AIR 2 SDK installed to use these examples.

Flash Player 10.1 Beta 3 was released earlier this week. Make sure you download the latest beta and test your content!

SlideRocket out in the open

SlideRocket is definitely one of my favorite Flash-based RIAs out there. It’s been in private beta for quite some time but today it has opened up to the public. The online tool allows you to create stunning presentations, manage them intelligently, share them securely and then measure the results — and the AIR client allows you to use your presentations offline.

“SlideRocket also includes an online marketplace where you can find all the content and services you might need to make your presentations great. SlideRocket goes beyond traditional presentation tools by harnessing the power of the Internet and making everything available to you in an integrated and intuitive online interface. SlideRocket is provided in a software-as-a-service model in a variety of price points starting at free.”
