Flex 2 and ActionScript 3 extension for Flash 8 Released

By scott

The wait is over, Flex 2 has been released. The release includes Flex Builder 2, Flex Data Services 2, and the ColdFusion 7.0.2 update. Go and get Flex at the Flex Developer Center. In other news, as promised (almost), Adobe has released the Flash Professional 9 ActionScript 3.0 Preview. From what I understood Adobe would be releasing a full beta version of Flash 9. Instead Adobe has released an extension for Flash Professional 8 to include support for Actionscript 3.0, enabling you to take advantage of the new ActionScript virtual machine in Adobe Flash Player 9. The update is available on labs.adobe.com.

Lastly, with the full reelase of Flex 2 comes the official release of Flash Player 9. You can download this at the Flash Player Download Center. Make sure you tell everyone, lets get those penetration rates up so our clients will let us use Actionscript 3.

I am downloading all of this as we speak, stay tuned for my initial review. The download is really slow, I don’t think I am the only one downloading it right now
