This Week In FlexExamples.com (8/24)
A bit of a "short" list this week as I posted last Sunday instead of Friday. I posted the following examples over on my other blog, blog.flexexamples.com, the past week. Next week I hope to have a few examples on using the excellent Flex Component Kit for Flash CS3, which allows you to create assets in Flash CS3, export them as a SWC file, and use those assets in Flex. For more information, check out the entry "Using the Flex Component Kit for Flash CS3 to Create Flex Containers" on the Flex documentation team's blog.
