Adobe Flex

A Powerful Cross Platform Framework

The Internet is changing. No longer are the usual web standards of HTML, CSS or even JavaScript enough to handle the high performance needs of today's rich Internet applications. Enter Adobe Flex. Based on the well established Adobe Flash platform Flex was designed as a cross platform development tool. What this means in practical computing terms is that a site built and designed in Flex will be able to be displayed on any browser on any platform.

As the cloud computing model spreads slowly across the world more and more applications that have traditionally been the realm of desktop computing will become web based. Web based applications are good because they can be accessed from any location and from any web enabled device. Flex allows these applications to be beautiful and simple yet dynamic and powerful.

Adobe Flex accommodates Drag and Drop

Furthermore Flex is an Open Source development tool which means that developers from many different fields are building and sharing useful tools for Flex. These contributions allow the Flex environment and capabilities to grow by leaps and bounds while still remaining within a stable, controlled framework.

Zoofoo's custom online photo manager is designed and built using Flex technology. This gives Zoofoo users powerful control over their photo albums with the ability to rearrange photos dynamically using drag and drop. Quickly organize albums or modify individual photos on the fly using the combined power of Flex and ZooFoo's well thought out design. This type of technology allows for a photo management environment which is incredibly user friendly and intuitive to use.

Flex also allows Zoofoo to determine the size of your monitor or browser screen and will automatically send you the best sized version of the image. This means that you will be able to see the highest quality image your display can support without having to download a file far too big to even display on your screen.
