This just in from Ryan Hartwich, one of our reporters currently at MAX. Macromedia has just made a new "Labs" area live on their site, and you can download the Flex Alpha, as well as other interesting technologies, such as the Flex 2 ColdFusion Adapter, ActionScript 3.0, and Flash Player 8.5. Macromedia will probably be announcing this more formally at MAX, but meanwhile, these technologies are all available for downloading on the labs site, http://labs.macromedia.com/. This is hopefully just the first of many interesting and exciting announcements to come from MAX. http://labs.macromedia.com/
