Adobe started two new open source framework projects to help media companies and publishers to build rich Adobe flash Applications. On Tuesday Adobe announced the availability of Open Source Media Framework and Text Layout Framework.
Open Source Media Framework
Open Source Media Framework (OSMF) is an open software framework for building robust, feature rich video players and applications based on the Adobe® Flash® Platform.
OSMF reduces the complexity of player development, allowing the developer more time to focus on the overall user experience. OSMF’s flexible architecture allows the developer to easily customize their player for the browser or the desktop, incorporating plug-ins for advertising, reporting and content delivery along with standard player features such as playback controls, video navigation, buffering, and Dynamic Streaming. The OSMF media framework can be integrated into your own custom applications using the simple API, or you can deploy the ready-to-run dynamic SWF player without compiling or writing custom scripts.
Open Source Media Framework version 0.3 is now available.
Please review the Downloads page for an explanation of the different downloads available.
Text Layout Framework
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.
The Text Layout Framework and source are bundled with the Flex 4 SDK. See the Flex SDK page
