Adobe Releases the New AS3 Facebook API

Adobe Releases the New AS3 Facebook API

Yesterday, Adobe released the ActionScript 3.0 Client Library for Facebook Platform API. The new ActionScript 3.0 Client Library for Facebook API, fully supported by Facebook and Adobe, makes it easy to build applications that combine the strengths of the Flash Platform and Facebook Platform.

Just imagine the already innovative RIAs that have been developed and the new ones to come that can now take advantage of the social aspect of Facebook’s community.  Not only can you take advantage of the user generated content, but if done correctly you can tap into a community of application testers.  What better way to get feedback on the development of your next big application, than to take advantage of an already active community.

Along with this exiting news, they also released a video interview with Josh Elman from Facebook.  Check it out below.
