Adobe has just launched the new AIR 2 based Tour de Flex version 2.0 which now contains almost 500 Flex examples! The new version has new AIR 2 examples (only available in the AIR version of Tour de Flex) including:
- File Promises
- Mass Storage Detection
- Native Process
- Open with default app
- Socket Server
Also there are some great examples of the new Flash Player 10.1 and AIR 2 APIs including:
- Gestures
- Global Error Handler
- Globalization / Internationalization
- Microphone access
Those are some great examples but my favorite is still Doug McCune’s Physics Form followed closely by the real-time Tour de Flex Dashboard. :)
If you already have Tour de Flex installed then it should auto update to the latest version when you launch it. Otherwise install it now using the badge installer below.

Hi,
The install badge don’t work on the mac osx 10.6.4 without air installation….
I get a window that says i need air which will be installed as well, but i cannot click the yes button…

This happens on every site that uses the tour the flex install badge. This is not a a real good advertisement for flex this way ;-)

hmmm restarting the browser fixed it,
not sure what was going on….

Was all excited when I saw the mapping section, but was quickly disappointed when I expanded it to see there were no open source mapping solutions being shown such as GeoServer. Maybe a future article?
Feel free to contribute some open source mapping samples to Tour de Flex:
