Getting started with Feathers (legacy AS3/Starling version)
This page is an overview of the Feathers (AS3/Starling version) documentation and related resources.
What's Feathers? It is a GUI component library for the Adobe AIR cross-platform run-time and Starling Framework, a popular ActionScript 3.0 library. The AS3/Starling version of Feathers is no longer under active development, and you should not expect any new features to be added in the future. However, we'll try our best to keep everything working whenever Harman releases new updates to Adobe AIR in the future.
Be sure to check out Feathers UI for OpenFL and Haxe. OpenFL is an implementation of many of the same APIs as Adobe AIR, and it can compile not just native desktop and mobile apps, but it can also be deployed to the web!
