Developing Flex 4 Components: Using ActionScript & MXML to Extend Flex and AIR Applications (Paperback)

The first book to completely demystify leading-edge component development with the Adobe Flex 3 platform - How to build components for Flex and AIR applications using ActionScript 3.0 and Adobe's powerful MXML user interface markup language - Covers expert techniques most books ignore, including component metadata, error handling, documentation, and creating Flex components in Flash using the Flex Component Kit - By Mike Jones, world-renowned Flex development consultant and speaker Summary Adobe Flex 3 offers a powerful new framework that web developers can use to quickly produce richer, more immersive, higher-value solutions. To help developers build the most powerful next-generation web applications, Adobe structured the Flex framework around components, and allowed developers to extend Flex's capabilities with their own components. However, few Flex developers know how to create these custom components. Developing Flex Components is the first book to completely demystify that process. Renowned Flex developer and speaker Mike Jones begins by presenting a quick overview of Flex and Flex Builder aimed at ActionScript 3.0 Flash developers. Jones explains the anatomy of a Flex component, including both visual and non-visual components, and introduces the components that come with the Flex framework. Next, one step at a time, he walks through building new Flex components that leverage the platform's powerful capabilities and can be incorporated into both Flex and AIR applications. Jones covers topics that are rarely addressed in Flex books, including component metadata, events and error handling, data binding, skinning, styling, and creating Flex components in Flash using the Flex Component Kit. He also presents a full chapter on writing and maintaining component documentation, as well as an appendix of additional resources for Flex component developers.

這是第一本完全揭開Adobe Flex 3平台上尖端元件開發神秘面紗的書籍。它教導讀者如何使用ActionScript 3.0和Adobe強大的MXML使用者介面標記語言來建立Flex和AIR應用程式的元件。本書涵蓋了大部分書籍忽略的專家技巧，包括元件元資料、錯誤處理、文件撰寫，以及使用Flex元件套件在Flash中建立Flex元件等。作者Mike Jones是世界知名的Flex開發顧問和演講者。總結起來，Adobe Flex 3提供了一個強大的新框架，網頁開發者可以使用它來快速製作更豐富、更沉浸式、更具價值的解決方案。為了幫助開發者建立最強大的下一代網頁應用程式，Adobe將Flex框架圍繞元件結構化，並允許開發者使用自己的元件擴展Flex的功能。然而，很少有Flex開發者知道如何創建這些自定義元件。《Developing Flex Components》是第一本完全揭開這個過程的書籍。著名的Flex開發者和演講者Mike Jones首先簡要介紹了針對ActionScript 3.0 Flash開發者的Flex和Flex Builder概述。Jones解釋了Flex元件的結構，包括視覺和非視覺元件，並介紹了Flex框架附帶的元件。接下來，他一步一步地介紹了如何建立新的Flex元件，利用平台強大的功能，並將其整合到Flex和AIR應用程式中。Jones涵蓋了很少在Flex書籍中提到的主題，包括元件元資料、事件和錯誤處理、資料綁定、外觀設計、樣式設定，以及使用Flex元件套件在Flash中建立Flex元件。他還提供了一整章關於撰寫和維護元件文件的內容，以及附錄中的其他Flex元件開發資源。
