Ok, this post might be a little picky, but it bugs me. The latest release of Flex is Flex 2.0.1 not Flex 2.01. Why does this matter? In the large scheme of things it doesn’t, especially with Moxie on track for coming out this year, but I like it when things are a little less [...]

I am moving the AdvancedForm component to the FlexLib library. The FlexLib was created recently as a place for Flex developers to have a one stop shop for Flex components. The library is full of some very useful components and we are looking to the developer community to add more.
The RemoteObjectAMF0 under went a few updates. Updated code with better comments for ASDoc's and readability Added SetCredentials Added Fault handler for NetStatus errors Added 1st round implementation for "method" definitions. Allowing you to define result/fault event handlers per method. This is done with a <renaun:methods/> tag and a <renaun:method/> component. Example of using the [...]
One of the subtle comments in the Q/A with the Flex team during 360Flex had to do with Adobe using Flex for internal application. They mentioned that about 15-20 internal projects are using Flex. Probably the most notable is the new online Photoshop application that was announced by the top exec's of Adobe. I think [...]

I am sitting in a Flex Team Q/A session here at 360Flex conference. Some interesting details about Moxie release are being discussed. One of the main goals of the next release will be to work on Flex compiler performance. Will there be a big chabge with Moxie? (like the jump from 1.5 to 2) The [...]
Currently the 360Flex conference is on it's second day. More than half over. I had the fun opportunity to be called out of a session to find out that my presentation has been changed from today til tomorrow (Ben Forta flys out tomorrow and needed to switch). The switch doesn't bother just glad to help. [...]
