下载 Adobe AIR in Action
简介 Book Description
This is a book about Adobe AIR for Flash and Flex developers. Although it’s entirely
possible to create AIR applications using HTML and JavaScript, this book focuses
exclusively on using Flash and Flex to build AIR applications. The AIR APIs are
remarkably similar in ActionScript and JavaScript. However, we found that trying to
address all the JavaScript nuances at the same time as the Flash and Flex nuances
would have resulted in an unfocused book. We opted instead to hone in on just Flash
and Flex.
It’s possible that some readers will still feel that we’ve tried to cover too much territory
by including both Flash and Flex coverage in one book. That is a fair critique.
By including both, we necessarily had to compromise at certain points, opting to
show code examples more suitable for Flash at some times and code examples more
suitable for Flex at other times. Although this can be seen as a weakness, we also see it
as a strength. We think this provides a greater context for understanding AIR, and it
allows you to make better decisions about how best to solve a problem when building
AIR applications. Ultimately, you’ll make up your own mind about whether our
approach works well or not, but we certainly encourage you to view the book from
our perspective.
