Adobe Gets More Robust with two new Frameworks: OSMF & TLF

07.21.2009 2

Just a quick update for all of the Flash and Flex developers out there…

Adobe is aiming to push the limits of RIA development by giving developers more robust tools for development. The latest two frameworks would be the Open Source Media Framework (OSMF) and the Text Layout Framework (TLF).

First, TLF is by far my favorite feature of the two. It takes the textual layout capabilities to the new level that international developers really needed, as well as copy and paste functionality from the keyboard.

The Text Layout Framework is an extensible ActionScript library, built on the new text engine in Adobe® Flash® Player 10 and Adobe AIR 1.5, which delivers advanced, easy-to-integrate typographic and text layout features for rich, sophisticated and innovative typography on the web. The framework is designed to be used with Adobe Flex® or Adobe Flash Professional and is included in Flex 4, code named “Gumbo”. Developers can use or extend existing components, or use the framework to create their own text components.” – Quoted from the Adobe Open Source TLF Page

Make sure you check out the Live Demo and the Feature Tour for TLF.

Adobe’s Open Source Media Framework has been in the works for a bit and 

Open Source Media Framework enables developers to easily assemble pluggable components to create high-quality, full-featured playback experiences. The open aspect of the framework enables collaborative development for web video monetization, with lower costs and faster turnaround.” “This site is focused on the development of Open Source Media Framework, which can be leveraged in ActionScript 3 or MXML.” - Quoted from the Adobe Open Source OSMF Page
