and comes with many useful features, highlights:

- Pure ActionScript 3.0 AFCS library (Flex-free, compiled 55 KB) for use in Flash CS4 or ActionScript projects
- updated WhiteBoardModel API, more flexibility with WhiteBoard component and shapes access
- SharedObject, for better migration of your FMS projects with full Roles and Permissions support
- plus many bug fixes and updated documentation also with section Tutorials
-
read Release notes for more specific information

Along with new SDK you get new AFCS SDK Navigator:
- AIR app for more comfortable and better development
- auto-update SDK, when there is new version
- includes video-tutorials

AFCS SDK Navigator

Also you maybe didn’t realize, but for clarification - AFCS SDK provides source-code, so if there is some component, which you would like to change to better fit your application - go ahead - mainly useful with visual ones.

  3. Ryan,

    For your consideration:
    http://www.colabry.com/

    It’s an AFCS Whiteboard like you haven’t seen.
    It has:
    1. Any UIComponent(s) can be added to the whiteboard
    a. Canvas
    b. Panel
    c. Flv player
    d. Tab Navigator
    e. Slider
    f. … any

    2. UIComponents can be drug onto the whiteboard form ‘user’ space (and visa versa);

    3. UIComponents can be nested in this process.
    a. Drag and drop a TabNavigator (with plank panels);
    b. Navigate to a panel
    c. drop any item from (1) , rinse and repeat

    4. Multiple Whiteboads.

    The result is that AFCS white boards can become:

    1. Organized with out penalty.
    2. Allowed to become very, very deep without being crowded or complicated (with good usability/design of course)
    3. Become multi-session /multi audience ( you can imagine a back-stage area(s) and an onstage area(s))
    4. Imagine the Aviary tools or photoshop express in a whiteboard. Entirely possible now.

    It’s *total* nonsense that Google should be cornering the collaboration buzz. I’d like to have a Collaboration Smack Down.

    I’ve reached out to Fang & Nigel at AFCS with my development. And there maybe some collaboration there, but I want to cast a wider net within Adobe. I’ve got a number of ideas which would make great research vehicles, developments and product. That’s why I’m reaching out to you and other Adobe luminaries.

    Cheers,
    Arnie Widdowon
