Elearning application development solution: Flash + Flex + Air

In the elearning age, more elearning contents and applications are needed. These lead to new challenges to the development process, in both quantity and time of development. Now, we are using different development tools for different purposes, e.g. VB to produce DB applications like Question Bank, for RIA , we will use Flash. Moreover, old codes are maintained in Director. As a result, different skills and codings are using in one project, this leads to reduce the effectively in the development, and of course high in the cost of both development and maintance.

Here, the Adobe Flash/Flex/AIR solution may be a way to overcome, go on have a test.

Air is a run-time program that installed in PC/MAC/Linux. After compiling the Flash files into .air format, it can then work in the above platforms without openning a browser. Being an application, it can also:
1. Function the file I/O in the machine
2. Communicate in certain level with the machine... need to test..
3. Installed as an exe, with menus in 程式集 and 桌面
4. Having use with FLEX, can develop applicaton like QuestionBank

The most important to a developer is, only handle the AS3.0 skill, we can make them all!

Old development tools:
Web animation and application : Flash8 (AS2.0), Director 8.5, ASP
PC application (.exe) : Visual Basic 6, Director 8.5, VB6 + Flash8 (AS1.0 and AS2.0)


New development tools:
Web animation and applicaton : FlashCS4 (AS3.0), Flex3(AS3.0), ASP
PC/MAC/Linux application (.air) : FlashCS4 (AS3.0), Flex3(AS3.0), AIR
