Apache Flex SDK

Apache Flex SDK is a development kit that was designed to help advanced computer users such as software developers create Flash-based content (games, applications) that is compatible with mobile devices, desktops and browsers.

Given that numerous platforms are targeted, the SDK provides users with a broad range of necessary utilities that they can experiment with while building their contents.

However, given that this utility does not include an IDE (Integrated Development Environment), users must first setup their environments. Although they are not necessarily needed, using them can highly reduce time spent on projects and enhance the quality of the end product. Among the supported IDEs users can find Adobe Flash Builder, JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA, FlashDevelop and FDT.

Apache Flex SDK lets users write reusable code that can be deployed on multiple platforms and use buttons, containers, forms, data grids or lists in order to enhance their projects.

Since it targets the Adobe Flash Player, users can make their applications accessible to numerous devices that support it, since the SDK is compatible with Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari and Internet Explorer. Mobile devices are also supported, as the SDK is also compatible with Adobe AIR, which can help reduce time spent building native apps.
