Pre-release versions of Adobe AIR 2.0 (runtime and SDK) and Flash Player 10.1 were released on Adobe Labs.

Complete information available here:

http://blogs.adobe.com/air/2009/11/adobe_air_2_beta_now_available.html

http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/air2/

And to skip right to the interesting bits:

Get the Flash Player 10.1 here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
Get AIR 2.0 here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air2.html

By far the most exciting functionality for me is the multitouch functionality. In fact, I pretty much coincided my purchase of an HP Touchsmart tx2 laptop with the release of AIR 2 and Flash Player 10.1, just so I could dive into this new and exciting feature! (By the way, good prices on Amazon for these devices!)

To be sure, you’ll see some future blog posts on this blog regarding this new functionality after I have digested these cool looking sample apps on Adobe Labs

http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/air2/samples/#flash

that demo this functionality.

OK…so I guess I kind of passed over these yesterday in my announcements. To me, the fact that there would be new releases timed with MAX was known and to anyone in the community there was probably a strong suspicion that there would at least be a new point release at MAX 2008. But in an effort to correct my oversight, here are links to the announcements by the product managers:

Matt Chotin (PM for Flex SDK) announces Flex Builder 3.0.2 and Flex SDK 3.2 (with support for AIR 1.5 and Flash Player 10).

Anil Channappa (PM for LCDS and BlazeDS) announces LCDS 2.6.1 and BlazeDS 3.2.

***********************************
(For Flash Player 9.0.124 and Flex 3)
***********************************

Basic scenario: I have a webservice, wsdl and crossdomain.xml file in a secured directory (using basic authentication) in one domain and my app.swf is on a different domain.

I want to call a webservice from my app.swf without a proxy, so what are the potential pitfalls?

    This really isn’t that difficult to do, but the docs regarding it are a little hard to find. I thought I’d post the link and then some links to other useful blog entries that have info to add on this topic.

    Doc link: http://livedocs.adobe.com/blazeds/1/blazeds_devguide/help.html?content=runtimeconfig_5.html#194376

    One of Adobe’s platform evangelists has posted a blog entry that may be more clear:
    http://raghuonflex.wordpress.com/2008/06/05/endpointatruntime/

    There is also a “Flex cookbook” entry that may be of some use:
