Apollo Alpha Release! RIA脱离流浪!

Apollo快要发布的前几天,我一直在守候着AdobeLabs的更新,突然因为日本发来的信件使得项目太忙,已致于到后来Apollo可以下载也是别人告诉我的.

给我的第一个惊奇是,Apollo终于出现在了AdobeLabs上,并且抢走了.air的后缀名!没想到Adobe的人不但编程好,取个名字也是满牛的!

让我们看看Apollo Alpha 1 它做什么:

• Apollo application installation and preferences (shortcuts, uninstall, start menu)


• File I/O API


• All functionality within Flash Player 9


• Window API


• HTML within Flash content


• HTML-based applications (i.e. no SWF)


• Script bridging between ActionScript and JavaScript


• Cross platform icons


• Partial multi-window support


• Network detection change API


• Application update API’s


• Full-screen support

再看看它接下去准备做什么:

• Drag and drop and cut and paste support.


• Additional HTML and Ajax support.


• Window transparency for HTML-based applications.


• Flash within HTML.


• PDF support.


• Native dialog support for opening and saving files.


• Network detection API enhancements.


• Multi-window enhancements.


• Additional enhancements to existing APIs.

它实现了跨平台(cross-operating system),它能把现有存的在利用广泛的开发技术(Flash, Flex, HTML, JavaScript, Ajax)整合在一起应用,特别是flex swf与外界的交互将更加便利,应用范围更加广泛,它能创造出新一代的RIA,一个脱离流浪(流览器)的RIA,一个丰富的在桌面上的RIA.

不得不说的是,因为公司目前产品还在采用flex2.0的阶段,如果升上2.0.1,现有工程将不能正常的运行,所以在公司里面玩Apollo有点困难.同时幸运的是,自己刚买了台HP的本本,而且装的还是vista,所以我将非常无奈的,但幸运的,在新的环境中体验升华的RIA丰富的感受,享受Apollo的冲击!
