[flexcoders] Re: Flex 3.0 - What happened to letting Flex 2 bed in?
Adam, Release cycles average 18 months. Flex 2 launched June 28 so to date it has been 7 months since its release. Adobe is in the early stages of development of Flex 3 and we are looking to release in 2007. So why did I start talking about Flex 3 so early? This release cycle is going to be very different and break the norm for how release cycles work at Adobe. We are changing and in the next few months this will become crystal clear as to our plans. We need to get more community involved in the release to shape the features and quality of Flex 3. Overall we are committed to delivering a first class framework and development toolset for our customers. Flex 3.0 is not right around the corner but will happen in 2007. My announcement on Flex 3 earlier this week was to state that we are committed to targeting Flash Player 9 for the release. Pricing and release details are far from complete. Patience, good things take time. Cheers, ted :)

Flex SDK will remain FREE. Ted Patrick Adobe
[flexcoders] Re: Flex 3.0 - What happened to letting Flex 2 bed in?
Negative, not pulling a Sun. Flex 3 is a full release cycle and the changes within are substantial. Ted :)
[flexcoders] Re: Flex 3.0 - What happened to letting Flex 2 bed in?
We need to do a better job of being more open about releases and allowing our customers to participate openly in shaping the products. I think you will see that the development and delivery of Flex 3 will be a great change in this regard. We are opening up and there are some great things in store. If you ever have an Adobe issue, email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] I read every single email and will do my best to help.

"We need to do a better job of being more open about releases and allowing our customers to participate openly in shaping the products." I agree - I haven't heard much from Adobe on Flashcoders lately re: the Flash 9 IDE (Flash CS3?) - JD @ Adobe did respond to an unrelated question I had yesterday, which was much appreciated, but I haven't heard much about Flash 9 IDE in a looonng time. Maybe you could poke someone with a small pin over there @ HQ or something. :) Jason Merrill Bank of America Learning & Organizational Effectiveness

Also ta to David for a very nice explanation of why this isn't a dressed up point release, or a rush to market - in actually fact it's just Adobe showing us what is around the corner earlier (further ?), which can only be a good thing. -- Tom Chiverton Helping to continually network cutting-edge interfaces This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 3.0 - What happened to letting Flex 2 bed in?
Quick question regarding updates to the framework, new components, etc. If the SDK remains free then in theory we'd be able to use our existing Flex Builder 2 to use any updated components or new ones that are added to the framework, right? You obviously wouldn't get the changes that are made to Flex Builder itself (all the stuff mentioned about workflow, productivity, etc). But any new components should be fairly straight forward to get working in FB 2?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 3.0 - What happened to letting Flex 2 bed in?
We don't know right now what the exact behavior of Flex Builder 2 will be if you try to pair it with a later version of the SDK. For example, Design View may break if we refactor some framework code (in implementation, not interface) as we set things up for other features. But the AS3 language won't be changing, and it's still Player 9, so the fundamentals should still work. I don't expect that you'd be able to pair FB2 with a new compiler though, so if we add any MXML language features you may not be able to leverage them. To be very honest, backwards compatibility for apps in an SDK is more important to us than a newer SDK working on an older FB. With that said, one thing that we are investigating is making sure that you can use a newer version of FB with older projects, so you don't have to keep old copies of FB around.
