Building a Photo Gallery with Adobe AIR

Description

This Wrox Blox walks you through building a desktop application using your favorite text editor and the Flex 3 command-line tools, leveraging the Flex Framework to browse and manipulate images found on your local system using the Adobe AIR API included in the Flex 3 SDK. Adobe AIR is a cross-platform runtime that gives you the ability to bring the rich Internet application experience to the desktop. Building a photo gallery is an excellent place to start when delving into the system features of the Adobe AIR API included in the Flex 3 SDK. Readers will also be introduced to the native drag-and-drop capabilities and File I/O features of the Adobe AIR API as they pertain to bitmap data.
