I recently got this email:<\/p>\n
I have read or watched a few of the items about flash, but still have not gotten an answer to a big question I have. <\/p>\n
Here is the question with a little of my background first. I’m a career programmer\/developer having gotten my degree in 1972, I have been in the business ever since.<\/p>\n
… I have done some web development for the last 4 years. Not full time, just part time. I spend most of my time developing and maintaining MS Access databases, using VBA to control whatever needs to be controlled. With that background, I would like better control over the UI within a web page and have the feeling that Flash is the tool to use, but I have not been able to find a good summary of what is possible with flash, from an interactive standpoint.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The short answer to this question is: YES.<\/p>\n
Flash has evolved from being an web animation program to a full fledged application framework. It includes built in drag-and-drop UI components, data binding along with a powerful object oriented language that looks like a cross between Java and Javascript: Flash Actionscript.<\/a><\/p>\n
Since Flash is a vector based engine, it provides a pixel accurate layout capability … that means you can produce any type of layout \/ UI you could possibly want for your application.<\/p>\n
Adobe has created a framework for Flash called Flex<\/a>. This extends Flash and provides a very rich set of tools for building applications for both the Web and the desktop. To get you Flash based applications on the desktop, Adobe has created the Air framework<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Thanks,<\/p>\n
