Build your first AIR application with Adobe Flex

Adobe Flex really is the development tool and platform of choice for developing desktop experiences on Adobe AIR. This slide deck was presented as part of a series of topics covered at Adobe AIR Camps throughout Australia and New Zealand. Take a look, download it, and share it! If anyone is interested in the demo files the Flex Builder project archive can be downloaded here.

The presentation introduces Flex Builder, the Flex framework and the AIR runtime by creating an application with a transparent window (thanks to Matt Voerman for providing the pretzel image!) that uses custom chrome and native window commands to move and close the application.

Take a look at the sample project, and if you have any questions feel free to leave a comment.
