For the people using Eclipse, combined with the plugin FDT to code flash application using the PixLib framework ( I wonder how many people are still reding the post ), Flap Flap has updated the Francis Bourre FDT templates for PixLib to match the last revision of PixLib ( rev40 )

So what is Tamarin?

"The goal of the "Tamarin" project is to implement a high-performance, open source implementation of the ECMAScript 4th edition (ES4) language specification. The Tamarin virtual machine will be used by Mozilla within SpiderMonkey, the core JavaScript engine embedded in Firefox®, and other products based on Mozilla technology. The code will continue to be used by Adobe as part of the ActionScript™ Virtual Machine within Adobe® Flash® Player."

Adobe gave the VM to Mozilla with some developers to work on it.

Some quotes that you could find interesting:

"The Tamarin release will include the following components:

"

"AVM2 supports full runtime error reporting, built-in debugging, and
binary socket support so developers can extend the player to work with any binary protocol. The AVM2 also features a Just In Time (JIT) compiler that translates ActionScript bytecode to native machine code for maximum execution speed."

"Adobe's contribution of source code from the ActionScript Virtual Machine to the Tamarin project accelerates the ability of developers to create and deliver richer, more interactive and engaging experiences that work across multiple platforms."

It's all good ...

Ok probably everyone knows it already but this post is more a reminder for myself.
This is THE LINK to get the pdf file of the AS3 API poster and THIS LINK to get the Flex 2.0 framework one...

Take care.
