Official press release: http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200704/042607Flex.html

FAQ and stuff on Adobe Labs: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex:Open_Source

so simply by making something open source it becomes to de facto standard..

-_-'

Yawn... Wake me up when they open-source Flash.

@tamrix: Making it open source will go a long way towards making it the standard. From the conversations I've had on- and off-line with other people, the fear of getting locked into a proprietary technology was a huge concern for developers. With this announcement, I think a lot of that fear will go away, paving the way for more developers to embrace Flex.

Under Mozilla Public Licence, interesting choice ...

Last time I checked all the Source Code to the Flex components were floating around in the freely downloadable SDK. Did they just change the licensing and get everyone excited? Adobe should open-source or make Flex Builder free as well.

I'd rather see Appollo become open source.

I hope they haven't patented any algorithms that stop the code being put into some Linux distros as defaults

This is a cool move, even though I really dislike Flex. I'm looking forward to Apollo though.

So functionality is no longer enough to lock people into your proprietary technologies, Adobe?

"What no mention of Photoshop costing $1000's yet.. where have all the Adobe haters gone?"

"Yawn... Wake me up when they open-source Flash."

"too bad it sucks"

"I'd rather see Appollo become open source."



You ungrateful bastards! This is ***** amazing when a company like Adobe sees the light and open-sources a huge technology like this. I get really sick of you glass-half-empty fools.

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/tamarin/

There's no pleasing some people. It seems every time a new Adobe announcement comes out, there's always a shrill band of detractors waiting to pounce on it, and "open source" is almost always their rallying cry.

To those folks: good luck on griping about this one. :)

I don't think they did it because of Silverlight: Silverlight's barely out the door, while Flex is already out there, powering some rather amazing sites like Picnik.com and Scrapblog. They did it because apparently that's what they've always wanted to do. And it makes perfect sense: they'll increase the developer and resource base for the technology, while still making money off the sale of tools like Flex Builder and the enterprise server technologies like Flex Data Services for doing advanced Flex development.

Not really open source - the key component, Flash, is still proprietary. So you can't deliver a Flex application based entirely on open source technology.

ok, can someone clear something up?

The newer Actionscript 3.0 is used in Flash and Flex. I have seen the new format for AS and it looks as if you can code out just about everything you can do with Flash. Would this, in a sense, being open sourcing flash, also? or am I way off the mark here. I am a lowly 3d modeler, so take it easy on me.

I don't get it: If you want to get data to that cool app, you still need Flex Data Services, which is 20k per server. Also, they are not even opening the full Flex SDK; the Eclipse component is remaining closed and $. Not sure why this is such a big deal. Don't get me wrong, it's a feather in the cap for Open Source, but in the scheme of things, it doesn't seem to matter for the average company.

Here's my 2 cents, coming from both angles of development:

.NET has more power for development on the server-side, where Flex has more power on the client side.

In .NET I have never linked a User Interface animation to a form control. If the form control is animated, it's because the OS has been set to 'Fade' or 'Slide'. I have done some great graphical readouts, but Flash seems more client-oriented.

For instance, a Kiosk at a mall might be developed with Adobe, but the server-side application that monitors all Kiosks at all malls might be a .NET solution.

It's fun for developers when they Open Source, because that means everyone can use it.

This is a great first step, but certain important pieces will be held back, including the Flash player and the Eclipse-based Adobe Flex Builder. Governance of the project will remain firmly in the company's hands. See "Adobe keeps Flash, Flex close to the vest" (http://blogs.zdnet.com/Burnette/?p=296) for more analysis.

So what. I don't why all of these companies are working so hard on developing their own framework and spending millions of dollars re-inventing the wheel. This just looks like another framework that only works with Adobe and I for one don't spend thousands of dollars when there is plenty of tested and proven free tools.

To start:
http://mootools.net/
And sure we don't like Microsoft but ASP.NET 2.0 is free, IDE for ASP.NET is free and AJAX components for .NET integrate rather well. I've even developed with Mootools integration in there. And then there is PHP and vast resource pool to choose from in that area.

Bottom line: don't show me something new, show me something that plays nice with what I've already done.

@ubernick on RoR

"There's not even a WYSIWYG designer tool."

bwahawhawhawhbwabwaj...where I come from that's not considered a drawback.

This is great news for us Flex developers!
It sounds like we may eventually have a better compiler, assuming people want to take the time to improve on what is there!
Hopefully this also means we may get a better IDE from the community.
Flex Developer works pretty well, but it can definitely be improved.

Adobe Flex is the most stupid program you can possibly find its pointless, and this news about it going opensource is ***** u still have to pay several hundered $ for the crappy ass program, So the better option for you as a programmer would be to march yourself over to the intel web page and buy the intel C++ or the intel Fortran Compiler they are AMAZING! Take this advice and don't buy into this lame ass ***** that Adobe is trying to rip you off with, b/c its ***** if u ask me Adobe FLEX sucks.
