This Wrox Blox walks you through building a desktop application
using your favorite text editor and the Flex 3 command-line tools,
leveraging the Flex Framework to browse and manipulate images found
on your local system using the Adobe AIR API included in the Flex 3
SDK. Adobe AIR is a cross-platform runtime that gives you the
ability to bring the rich Internet application experience to the
desktop. Building a photo gallery is an excellent place to start
when delving into the system features of the Adobe AIR API included
in the Flex 3 SDK. Readers will also be introduced to the
native drag-and-drop capabilities and File I/O features of the
Adobe AIR API as they pertain to bitmap data.
