Flight Framework Beta

Posted by xtyler in News on 02 9th, 2009 | No Comments

The Flight Framework project has officially entered beta and is being hosted on Google Code. So what does this mean, what does the beta entail?

What it is:

  • available source code
  • SWC (compressed library) for download
  • powerful library
  • final home
  • a start

What it isn’t:

  • documented
  • feature complete
  • thoroughly tested
  • community driven … yet

And it’s for this last reason that the framework is being released without thorough documentation and testing. We hope to get your feedback and involvement as we continue to grow and develop the project. This website will remain the project’s primary resource for documentation and info, while Google Code handles the project code, and a Google Group to take care of the community.

The Flight Framework is the evolution of an ActionScript framework that has been around for a few years. It was originally designed for web-based, design-centric applications such as product printers and book builders. Even now the framework ships with the CommandHistory - an entire solution for undo and redo - and other practical utilities that strengthen its offering.

Flight Framework maintains an emphasis on supporting capable clients: Flex and Flash applications that are much more than just a pretty face to a server implementation. Through features like domains (modular MVC systems) and a prescribed structure, the framework transforms component scripting into real application development.

We are finally launching the Flight Framework as an opensource project under the MIT license. The project is in beta and will likely undergo some minimal changes based on user feedback.
