FABridge walkthrough
FABridge walkthrough: At WIRED, Robert Capili describes his initial learning experience with the Labs release Flex Ajax Bridge, a set of libraries to speed development of Flex applications which can be controlled directly by the browser's JavaScript engine. Later he uses it to add UI elements via JavaScript to a bare SWF shell file. In conclusion he notes that this alpha needs more documentation and examples... I'd also like to see info on how to support these browser-dependent abilities for audiences using diverse browsers. Bottom line: Browser extensions are part of the browser, and you can use browser-based development skills (like JavaScript) to create interfaces which go beyond what a browser can do.
