| FUG has been to the MAX and back!
With all the new features of Flex 4 revealed during Adobe MAX 2008, you know you want to come in and soak up the goodness. Just to whet your geeky appetite, we will be covering the all new FxComponent and skinning capabilities!
We will also be giving you a glimpse into Flash Catalyst (previously codenamed Thermo) which helps you to convert your kick-ass designs from Illustrator/Photoshop/Fireworks right into a Flex project!
Drinks will be provided during the meeting. Come early to grab limited Flash Camp and Flash Catalyst stickers, and network with the fellow members. You also stand a chance to win yourself a Flex t-shirt. Feel free to bring along your laptop and enjoy the free wifi provided by Yahoo! Singapore.
As we will be holding the meeting outside of Adobe, please RSVP at http://groups.adobe.com/posts/040e63694d to confirm your presence.

Flex is a free, open source framework for building highly interactive, expressive web applications that deploy consistently on all major browsers, desktops, and operating systems. It provides a modern, standards-based language and programming model that supports common design patterns. MXML, a declarative XML-based language, is used to describe UI layout and behaviors, and ActionScript™ 3, a powerful object-oriented programming language, is used to create client logic. Flex also includes a rich component library with more than 100 proven, extensible UI components for creating rich Internet applications (RIAs), as well as an interactive Flex application debugger.
RIAs created with Flex can run in the browser using Adobe Flash® Player software or on the desktop on Adobe AIR™, the cross-operating system runtime. This enables Flex applications to run consistently across all major browsers and on the desktop. And using AIR, Flex applications can now access local data and system resources on the desktop. Both Flash Player and Adobe AIR are available as a free download on Adobe.com.

Adobe® Flash® Catalyst is a new professional interaction design tool for rapidly creating application interfaces and interactive content without coding. These can range from interactive Ads, product guides and design portfolios to user interfaces for applications. Flash Catalyst enables designers to start from static compositions created in Adobe Photoshop® CS4, Illustrator® CS4, or Adobe Fireworks® CS4 and convert the artwork into applications and interactive content |
