7. Components as the building blocks
• One of the bene ts of RIAs is a very rich
component set
• The components allow us to build
customized, sophisticated user interfaces
beyond what HTML provides
• Developers often start by thinking about
which components to use in an application
or user interface.
• The problem is that it’s very hard to
design around those components.
•Designers don’t think about components,
they think about art and user experience.

A professional interaction
design tool for rapidly
creating the user experience
of applications and
interactive content without
coding

23. Declarative graphics
MXML graphics library providing rich primitive
t hs support - shapes, paths, lls, lters, transformations
Shapes Pa
<Ellipse y="46" height="144" width="144" x="86">

FXG is an interchange format based on MXML
graphics
Closely matches the Flash Player rendering model
Static - no binding support, scripting,
event handlers, etc

Slide 6: Adobe Flash Platform
(2 min.)
&#xA5;The Flash Platform is a complete system to create and deliver expressive applications, content and video that run consistently across the widest reach of operating systems and devices. &#xA0;
&#xA5;With the Open Screen Project, we&#x2019;re going to take that even further, finally achieving the goal of web applications that can really work from all of the places that people connect to the web &#x2014; mobile phones, desktops, browser, social networks and TVs. &#xA0;
&#xA5;Even with 13 years of incredible Flash technology innovation, the best of the Flash Platform is still ahead. &#xA0;
&#xA5;Our development tools, including Flex Builder, Creative Suite 4 and the interaction design tool we introduced to you last year as Project Thermo offer the foundation for agile design and development workflows, making it faster and easier for you to get your work done.
&#xA5;Project Thermo is now a reality called Flash Catalyst Flash Catalyst is all about better tooling, better workflow, and a faster time to market.
&#xA5;That&#x2019;s also at the heart of Flex &#x2014; offering a framework for building applications more quickly
&#xA5;To improve deployment of these applications, we&#x2019;re continuing to drive innovation and consistency in the Flash Player. &#xA0;The overwhelming success of the Flash Platform becomes increasingly evident with each new version of the Player we release. In the X months since we released Flash Player 20, we&#x2019;ve had an incredible XXX downloads, an X percent increase (?) over this point with 1Flash Player 9. [Need input from PBU for final numbers/positioning]
&#xA5;With Flash Player 10, you can create an entirely new class of experiences not previously achievable on the Web.
&#xA5;And AIR 1.5, released today, takes all the power of Flash Player 10 and makes it available on the desktop.
&#xA5;Finally, the strength of our ecosystem is incredible, and we are continuing to not only extend the reach of the platform through our partners but also engage with every one of you through open feedback and the use of common standards.
&#xA5;One of the most gratifying things for me personally is seeing some of the groundbreaking applications built on the Flash Platform coming from new and unexpected places in the community &#x2013; including government, education and the non-profit world
