Flex SDK 4.6

Flex 4.6 is the next major step in cross-platform mobile application development. This new version of Flex SDK offers several new components and functionality specifically designed to help developers create applications for the latest mobile and tablet devices.

Flex SDK 4.6 was governed by three main goals:

• New components: Flex 4.6 includes several new and updated mobile-optimized Spark components to enable developers to make use of the new mobile and tablet device paradigms.

• Better performance: Adobe remains focused on performance, and in Flex 4.6 we’ve made considerable improvements. Many key performance optimizations have been made to give mobile applications an even more responsive feel. Simply repackaging an existing Flex mobile application with Flex 4.6 can yield up to a 50% performance gain. Creating a new application in Flex 4.6 will deliver near-native performance with the superior customization you expect from Flex.

• Updated platform support: As part of this release, we will provide support for the latest mobile operating system releases–including Apple iOS5 and Google’s forthcoming update to Android. In addition, Flex will be certified on the latest smartphone and tablet devices.
