Continuing with my research on RIAs, I looked at Adobe Flex next. I already had Flash Player 9 installed.
I went to http://flex.org/showcase/ and explored several Flex apps. All the apps ran fine. The experience was much better than JavaFX.
One notable app is the Flickr Gallery (http://gallery.worldsware.com/).
From the showcase description:
“Flickr Gallery is an experimental virtual environment I built using Papervision3D. It shows Flickr’s “most interesting” photos of the day in an art gallery format you can walk around it. Zoom in for closer detail and pop up a photograph’s Flickr page or view a map for geo-tagged images.”
The Papervision3D website (http://www.papervision3d.org/) is very cool.
