Introduction

Adobe Flex is a framework for developing Rich Internet Applications (RIA). Adobe has open sourced the Flex framework and releases a free software development kit SDK for creating Flex applications. The SDK comes complete with a compliler that takes MXML files as input and outputs an Shockwave Flash (SWF) file as the output. MXML is an Extensible Markup Language file that contains both code and formating components for the application. The code section is written in Actionscript3 which is based on JavaScript.

Getting Started

This is a very brief introduction on how to create and compile a Hello World application using the Flex SDK and Flash Develop.


Sample Application

The sample application is based on an example Flash application from Netburner. It was originally designed on the PK70 hardware but could be used with any of the Netburner Ethernet Modules (Except the MOD5270). The are two parts to the project

The project is an early version of a weather monitoring station that I worked on. It shows how to layout a form with text controls and animation of a compass needle. I modified the C++ application to send incrementing numbers so that the compass movement would be dynamic.
