Adobe CS4 and Adobe Bordeaux


Heard the following about a new tool , Adobe Bordeaux (via visualrinse), to create Flash contents without programming with Actionscritp 3 language

Just got a note from Adobe on this…. In addition to Thermo lowering the bar for Flex development, it looks as though
Adobe has a tool coming out to compete with Swish, etc… Very cool!

Adobe Bordeaux is the codename for a new product for graphic designers, art directors, creative directors, and others who don’t need all the capabilities of Flash Professional and want to create flash content easily without knowing ActionScript or programming.

Bordeaux enables graphic designers to efficiently create site openers, rich media banners, microsites, portfolios, and other small-scale Flash projects. Art Directors and Creative Directors can use Bordeaux to add interactivitym motion, and video to Photoshop comps or InDesign layouts to create interactive moodboards and concepts, making it possible to communicate ideas more efectively to clients and design teams.

Easily create buttons, menus, slideshows, video controllers and other interactive components

Customise the look and behavior of interactive components included with Bordeaux

Visually convert artwork to interactive elements without coding

Trigger actions and events from markers you add to your video and audio

Create multi-page microsites as easily as dragging and dropping

Make objects and text move, spin, resize, reveal, slide, bounce, fade, and more without using keyframes or code

Easily control how motion responds to mouse events

Import, trim, and encode video files into FLV

Add audio and trim and adjust levels

Import native Photoshop files as layers

Import InDesign files with pages and objects preserved as individual elements

Output efficient SWF or Adobe AIR files

if you have any more information, please send me mail then i update this post.
thank you

Adobe LiveCycle Data Services ES 2.6

Get the LiveCycle Data Services ES 2.6 beta now
dobe® LiveCycle® Data Services ES is the server-based technology that streamlines the integration of rich Internet applications (RIAs) with LiveCycle Services, J2EE applications, and business logic. This release aligns with the releases of Adobe Flex® 3 and Adobe Flex Builder™ 3. It provides new and enhanced capabilities for enterprise developers building application utilizing Flex and LiveCycle. A complete list of new features is contained in the documentation. Below are some highlights

New and Enhanced Features

Alignment with Flex 3

LiveCycle Data Services ES 2.6 supports the releases of Flex 3 and Flex Builder 3.

Improved LiveCycle Foundation Integration Features

You can now define data management data sources with LiveCycle ES components, the mechanism you use to write new components with LiveCycle Foundation. We also support: single-signon for LiveCycle remoting applications, LiveCycle services which use the enumerated data type, and provide the ability to push changes to Flex clients in real-time from LiveCycle processes. (Requires LC ES 8.2)

Improved RTMP Performance and Scalability

Supports more concurrent users on the same server infrastructure.

Scalable HTTP Based Channel

Supports thousands of connections for each Java process. You can use our RTMP channel if you are able to make these connections from your clients directly to the LC DS process. You can use the scalable HTTP based channel infrastructure if your clients can only connect to your servers using the HTTP protocol (i.e. based on proxy servers used by your clients or firewall limitations used by your servers). Using LC DS's flexible ChannelSet mechanism, it is easy to support a list of channels so your clients can connect using the implementation which provides the most efficient implementation.

Data Management Paging Improvements

LC DS 2.5.1 introduced a mechanism which let you page from the clients directly to the database but this mechanism was not supported with the "auto sync" feature. With this new release, that restriction has been removed. You can now do very efficient on-demand paging directly to the database while the clients are kept up to date with the latest changes. You can also now turn on paging for associations in your object model which improves the efficiency with which you can manipulate large object models.

Data Management Offline Improvements

Using the SQL database contained in Adobe's AIR runtime, we can use the offline support introduced in LC DS 2.5.1 to persist data directly to a SQL database. With very little additional code, you can use an application written to use data management offline with complete access to any data and queries you executed online by simply specifying a cache id and either using the auto-save option or explicitly saving queries or items you want to persist offline for retrieval later.

Data Management Improved Subtype Support

Data management now supports object models where associations are added in a sub-type. Previously a single destination could manage a type hierarchy but all types had to have the same set of associations. Now you can define a destination for each class which parallels the object hierarchy using a new "extends" attribute. A subclass can add additional associations.

Data Management and Hibernate Improvements

Configuration of hibernate destinations has been made much simpler and less error prone. Support for Hibernate Annotations is also provided.

A complete list of new features is contained in the documentation. We appreciate your participation in the beta release.
