In case you missed it on MXNA, here’s a list of all the posts (more or less) on http://blog.flexexamples.com/ in the past week:

• Filtering an XMLListCollection using the filterFunction property and regular expressions
• Creating two related ComboBoxes
• Building a basic controller for the VideoDisplay control
• Removing duplicate items from an array using the Array.filter() method
• Sorting an ArrayCollection using the SortField and Sort classes
• Creating custom pop-up windows with the PopUpManager class
• Building a simple Flex module
• Embedding and animating fonts in a Flex application
• Modules and singleton manager classes
• Creating full-screen Flex applications
• Embedding sound effects in your Flex applications
• Setting the ProgressBar control’s labelPlacement, mode, and conversion properties
• Grabbing FlashVars from the embedding HTML template
• Specifying certain unicode-ranges for embedded fonts
• Making auto-repeat Button controls using the autoRepeat property and buttonDown event
• Checking the user’s Flash Player capabilities using the flash.system.Capabilities class
• Positioning a label within a progress bar using the ProgressBar.labelPlacement property
• Positioning an icon within a button using the Button.labelPlacement property
• Determining which server/domain a SWF is hosted on
• Rounding a Button control’s corners using the cornerRadius property
• Styling buttons in an Alert control
• Dynamically creating ActionScript cue points from FlashVars received from the HTML container
• Creating an Alert control with non-selectable text

So far I’ve been pretty good at making at least 1-2 posts a day, so here’s hoping I can keep the pace up. Lucky for me Flex has a pretty awesome API and there is definitely a lot of great things to explore and play with.

Happy Flexing!
