New Flex Toolkit
Salesforce posted a new wiki page for a Flex Toolkit, allowing for rich interactive components to be built on Adobe’s Flex platform and integrated with Salesforce.com. The overview, per wiki page is:
The concept for this library is simple: Begin with the Salesforce AJAX toolkit, port the data layer to the ActionScript 3.0 programing language found in Adobe Flex, returning native strongly typed ActionScript objects for the Flex programmer to manipulate and render. This allows Flex programmers to build S-controls — components within the Apex interface where custom code can be executed — without dropping into JavaScript.
For more information:
- Visit the Flex Toolkit page on the Apex Wiki. There you will find Getting Started materials, downloads, object/class documentation, etc.
- Check out the screencast to learn about the IDE.
- See the end result in action in an AppExchange Test Drive
