With all the new products released by adobe now , and the release of microsoft silverlight , i am kinda lost in here …
Adobe Apollo , new name (AIR) Adobe Integrated Runtime:
What i like about Apollo is that you dont only get to build any Desktop application that interacts with the internet only but it also interact with your local resources ( HD ) using the file API , it is based on flex as3 as far as i watched and i can wait to put my hands on it .
Adobe CS3 creative suite :
that is Flash , DW , InDesign , FW , Photoshop etc … CS3 , the following link explains it all in a great vid :

Microsoft Silverlight (that can be adobe’s nightmare) :
you can also watch silver light for mobile devices on youtube …
Alot of Developer applications , i shall stick with adobe & at the moment im migrating from AS2 to AS3 , kinda confusing specially the Movieclip/Button interactivity … for ie .
In AS2 we can write a button function like this :
my_btn.onRelease = function() {
trace("Released");
}
but for AS3 it would be like this:
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("Clicked");
}
The reason its been done this way in as3 is to make a cleaner code , and faster code execution …
