it is finished
The project I've been working on for the past year and a half, Adobe Flex Builder 2, has just gone out the door, along with the rest of the Flex product line. (Actually, it went out the door last Friday, but is officially available today.) If you build web apps with any kind of complex UI, or if you do Flash web app development, you should really check it out--download the free Flex SDK or a trial of Flex Builder.

As part of the launch, an article I wrote for the Flex Developer Center on creating graphical skins for Flex apps is now live.

And, just for the heck of it, I'm starting a work-related blog, much ado about something. Now I have two blogs I can let languish for long periods of time.

I just checked it out. The three example applications I tried all gave me blank blue/gray pages.

What platform are you on? We released Flash Player 9 for Windows and non-MacTel Macs; the MacTel version should be out pretty soon, and I know we're also working on the Linux version.

I'm on Linux, and as far as I know I have the latest Flash player available.

I was kinda assuming the tool would generate web sites, at least as an option like OpenLaszlo's beta allegedly does. I'm not really interested in making Flash sites, but a good tool for rich web interfaces would be very useful, especially for form design.

Yup, sorry, it's for deploying in the Flash runtime. Our view is that there are lots of things AJAX is great for, but there are some things you just can't do in pure AJAX (or can't do without a lot of work) that we can enable using Flash as a client runtime. Besides the more "flashy" stuff, there's also things like handling large amounts of data client-side, which is a lot more performant in a dedicated runtime than using HTML/JS.

Yup. Looks like FP9 Linux will be in public beta soon and formally released early next year. Here's more info.

Congrats to you and the rest of the team! Good to see it finally shipped! (just shipped Mac Messenger beta 1 over here, so I was starting to wonder ;-)
