Speaking Sessions

• ActionScript Event Patterns

  5:00 PM Saturday   Room: 4301

  The Flash and Flex language ActionScript has build-in publish-and-subscribe events that not only make announcements but also ask questions. They can act as a light-weight, loosely-linked, anonymous two-way communications protocol. One example is managing checkboxes in a list or grid without keeping the checked status in the data element.

• Sharing Code Between Web and AIR

  9:15 AM Sunday   Room: 4221

  ActionScript code for the Flash Player and AIR are 99% the same. Learn how to package your applications to isolate the 1% using libraries and interfaces. By focusing on the behaviors of file selection, mouse behaviors, and possible local database use, you can have a consistent user experience without dropping to the lowest common denominator.
