Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 Premium
Rapidly develop cross-platform web, desktop, and mobile applications
Dramatically reduce the time and cost of building applications that deploy on multiple web, desktop, and mobile devices. Using Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 Premium software and Adobe Flex 4.5, you can now leverage a common code base to write applications for Android, Apple iOS, and BlackBerry Tablet OS, while sharing code from your web and desktop applications. Use Design View to lay out and refine the user interface, and then use intelligent code-editing features in Code View to build out application logic. Import design assets from Adobe Creative Suite components, or use the roundtrip workflow with Adobe Flash Catalyst software to work with designers throughout application development.
Top Reasons to Buy Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 Premium
Powerful coding tools--Use MXML, Adobe ActionScript, and CSS editors that include syntax coloring, statement completion, code templates, code collapse, interactive step-through debugging, generation of common code, refactoring, metadata code completion, and more.
Rich visual layout--Visually design and preview user interface layout, appearance, and behavior using a rich library of built-in components. Extend Flex framework components, or create new ones as needed.
Mobile application development--Build standalone Flex and/or ActionScript applications targeted at one or more mobile platforms. Design and Code View support mobile development using mobile-ready components.
Preview, debug, and profile mobile apps--Test mobile applications on the desktop using a mobile Adobe AIR runtime emulator, or test on a locally connected mobile device using a one-click process to package, deploy, and launch.
Package and sign mobile applications--Deploy, package, and sign required resources as a platform-specific installer file for upload to a mobile application distribution site or store.
Integrates with Adobe Creative Suite design tools--Import design assets created with Adobe Flash Professional, Illustrator, Photoshop, or Fireworks software. Roundtrip projects between Adobe Flash Catalyst CS5.5 and Flash Builder 4.5. Use the compatibility checker to verify that applications can be updated in Flash Catalyst.
Interactive data visualization--Create data dashboards and interactive data analysis by dragging and dropping a chart type and linking it to a data source using the Flex Charting library. Use the Advanced Datagrid to enable users to explore complex data.
Data-centric development--Introspect Java, PHP, Adobe ColdFusion, REST, and SOAP services to display methods and properties in the Data/Service Explorer. Bind methods to UI components using drag and drop.
Skinning and styling--Customize application appearance using CSS and graphical property editors. Set commonly used properties and preview results in Design View. Use the Theme Browser to apply themes to a project.
Powerful testing tools--Accelerate application performance using memory and performance profilers. Support for automated functional testing tools, such as HP QuickTest Professional and FlexUnit is also available.
Network monitor--Generate a detailed audit trail of all data passed between the local Flex application and the back end, assisting with debugging and performance tuning.
