Written by members of the Apollo product team, this is the officialguide to the Alpha release of Adobe's Apollo project, therevolutionary cross platform desktop runtime from Adobe Labs. Adobe Apollo Pocket Guide for Flex explains how to buildand deploy Flash-based Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) to thedesktop using Adobe's Flex framework. This book describes conciselyhow Apollo works, and offers numerous examples for those who wantto start building RIAs for the desktop right away.Why put RIAs on the desktop?

Unfortunately, web browserscan't support all of the interactions we expect from applications.You can't drag a file into an RIA and have it act on that file, forexample, or have RIAs interact with other applications on thecomputer.Adobe's Apollo project gives you the best of both worlds -- the RIAdevelopment model and true desktop functionality. This pocket guideexplains how.Topics include:

AMXMLC is a simple wrapper for the MXMLC Flex compiler, which links in the appropriate Apollo-specific libraries.
Usage is the same as MXMLC:
amxmlc myTestApp.mxmlThis shell script is included in the bin directory of the Apollo SDK directory.
The first argument passed to the compiler is the location of the MXML file to compile (myTestApp.mxml in the previous example).
There are a number of other options for the MXMLC compiler. For details on these, see:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/201/html/compilers_123_24.htmlADL is a command-line tool that launches an Apollo application, based on it's application.xml file, without requiring that the application be installed. This is useful for testing and debugging the application.
Typically, you want to call the ADL tool passing one parameter: the path to the application descriptor file (the application .xml file):
adl application.xmlThe full syntax of the ADL command is:
adl ( -runtime )? ? ( -- ... )?Here is a description of the command-line arguments for ADL:
Option | Description |
|---|---|
-runtime | Optional argument that specifies the directory that contains the Apollo runtime that should be used. |
path-app-xml | The application.xml descriptor file for the application that should be launched. |
path-to-root-dir | Optional argument that specifies the directory that contains the application.xml descriptor file |
-- | Any arguments specified after this argument will be passed to the application as startup/command-line arguments. |
