Adobe MAX -- AIR Sample Applications

Thu, 04 Oct 2007 11:56:00 -0700

Here are a series of example AIR applications that were shown at some point at the Adobe MAX conference. Arise
Bee
DragNShare
EmployeeDirectory
Fresh
HTMLPodcastPlayer
MapCache
PeekAgenda
PixelPerfect
RoadFinder
Salsa
Scout
ScreenPlay
Signet
SPF
Unfortunately, there is no source files. But they should be good for demonstration purposes. Correction: It looks as though I grabbed the source files for these and not the published AIR file...

Adobe MAX -- Presentation by Chris Florio -- Intro to ActionScript 3

Thu, 04 Oct 2007 11:41:00 -0700

When I was doing my hands on lab at Max, I was able to zip up the presentation files for the presentation given by Chris Florio. This includes the presentation and the example files. The presentation was good and he covered a lot of what isn't possible in AS3 anymore. It was a good overview of the basics of AS3. Example of a mouse Click event from the session:



function playMovie(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndStop("home");
}
enter_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMovie);

Adobe MAX Resources...

Thu, 04 Oct 2007 09:23:00 -0700

I got back home from MAX last night and though that I would find a resource page on the Adobe site where we can go and download files, ppt's, etc. I know at the conference we could download some PPT files about the sessions from the kiosks, but now, I don't even see that. What gives? Is that information going to be put up soon? I would also put up all the source files for the hands on sessions.
