Macromedia's new MX Resource Kit is designed to help developers build 'rich Internet applications'.

Containing extensions, components and various tutorials and articles, the kit is described by Macromedia as an essential set of add-ons for MX development tools.

For Macromedia Flash MX developers, the kit includes a new DataGrid component for displaying tabular in Web applications. As well as support for scrolling, paging, Flash Remoting, and customised rendering, the component's cells are editable. Also for Flash MX, a Media Component enables the quick loading and playback of various media types.

For Dreamweaver MX developers, the kit contains extensions to help build Web sites. The extensions cover such tasks as displaying data in PHP applications, add functions to the file menu in Dreamweaver, and edit themes for sites.

You can find a detailed list of the kit's contents at Macromedia.com.

The MX Developer Resource Kit, Volume One, is only available online from the Macromedia Online Store for $99.

Expect more MX-based software developer kits - Volume One is the first of a quarterly series.
