Adobe, don’t forget the Flash - Apollo combination !

March 20th, 2007 by Jaap Kooiker

Altough my labs is supposed to be about Flex to I haven’t been doing (very) interesting stuff with Flex lately. Why? Because at my job is currently concentrating at Flash / Interaction Design mainly and working in the evening with Flex doesn’t result in progressive Flex applications. So, why do I tell this…
I’ve been testing, working and playing with AS3 in flash 9 (or flash CS) alpha. The way I see it, the Apollo scene is (currently) all about Flex applications. I ask you - Adobe - to don’t forget the Flash applications, (in the end it all started with Flash), cause altough I totally love Flex, I imagine there are a lot of Flash developers (including me) who want to develop an Apollo application to!

I ask you, can we expect an plugin for the Flash 9 alpha (soon) or is there a plan to put it in the Beta version of Flash 9 ???
