CREATING YOUR FIRST FORCE.COM FLEX APPLICATION

Force.com Flex is a framework for creating Flex-based desktop and Web applications that leverage Salesforce logic, data, and security.

The framework provides:

•

Seamless handling of connected and disconnected states for desktop apps, including the detection of Internet connectivity

•

Adobe’s Data Management Services (DMS), which creates and manages local databases for desktop applications that operate online

and offline

•

Data synchronization between Salesforce and desktop applications

•

Generated ActionScript classes that mirror your Salesforce enterprise WSDL and provide access to Salesforce objects

•

MXML components to simplify the implementation of user interfaces that render Salesforce data, Force.com Flex status bars, and

popup notifications called toasts

•

An engine and user interface for resolving data conflicts and errors in desktop applications

The Force.com Flex framework installs as a standalone instance of Adobe

Flash

Builder for Force.com—an enhanced version of Adobe's

Eclipse-based integrated development environment (IDE) for developing Flex applications. Adobe Flash Builder for Force.com includes

classes that facilitate the development of Flex-based applications for Salesforce. These applications create, update, and delete Salesforce

data via asynchronous requests to the Force.com API. Mobile and tablet applications created using Flash Builder version 4.5 or newer

aren't supported.

Force.com Flex desktop applications run on your workstation or laptop using Adobe

Integrated Runtime (AIR

), and operate both online

and offline. The ability to operate offline makes them ideal for users who don't always have an Internet connection but still need to

access Salesforce data. For example, traveling sales teams can use Force.com Flex desktop applications to update contacts, opportunities,

and accounts while visiting customer sites.

Force.com Flex Web applications run in browsers with Adobe

Flash

Player, and can operate as standalone Web applications or as

embedded user interface components on Salesforce pages. For example, Force.com Flex Web applications can render animated charts

and graphs based on Salesforce data.

This tutorial demonstrates how to use Force.com Flex to build the Account Manager application—a basic desktop application that

provides offline access to account data. After you build the application, sales reps can use it to update Salesforce account records while

traveling in areas with inconsistent Wi-Fi.

The top section of the finished Account Manager application contains:

•

Buttons to create records, query data, and synchronize with Salesforce

•

A count of the number of account records retrieved from Salesforce

•

A list of account records with information such as the account's billing city, the type of account, and more
