Tuesday July 27th Meeting – 6:30PM ITT Tech
We are meeting once again this coming Tuesday July 27th @ ITT Tech in room THEORY 3.
Schedule:
1. Using the AIR 2.0 NativeProcess API to do things that AIR can’t
Andrew Westberg (www.flexjunk.com) will be discussing a consulting project he worked on that needed a multi-threaded high performance C++ application to manipulate audio in near real-time. The client wanted to use AIR for it’s superior usability and design capabilities, but was limited by the Adobe Flash platform in other areas. Namely, limitations in audio file format support and performance for calculation-intense applications.
2. Building Modular Applications in Flex
Sam Souhrada (www.samsouhrada.com) will be discussing the benefits of building modular flex applications. The presentation will include a general overview and construction of a small sample application. Code samples will be posted after the presentation.
Modules let you split your application into several pieces, or modules. The main application, or shell, can dynamically load other modules that it requires, when it needs them. It does not have to load all modules when it starts, nor does it have to load any modules if the user does not interact with them. When the application no longer needs a module, it can unload the module to free up memory and resources. (From Adobe.com)
Hope to see you all there!
