I did a quick scan and here's a list of the Flex/Flash Builder specific looking sessions:
So I'm proud to say that I'm now the owner of the following four "halo" colors: haloBlue, haloGreen, haloOrange, and haloSilver.
]]>Also, head on over to the Adobe Flex Developer Center and check out the following articles:
Got questions? Visit the Labs forum for Flash Builder 4. Found a bug (or have an enhancement request)? Visit the Flex Bug base. Also, don't forget about the Adobe Flex Cookbook (which has a growing number of Flex 4 beta posts). And finally, please go check out the excellent Flex 4 Beta 2 documentation; Flex 4 Beta 2 documentation live.
]]>The documentation team released a cool new version of the Adobe Flash Platform Language Reference (which includes all APIs from the following products: Adobe Flash CS4 Professional, Adobe AIR, LiveCycle Data Services, Adobe ColdFusion, Adobe Flex, and Adobe Flash Player -- as well as the Text Layout Framework (TLF) classes). And the great news is, you can filter content based on Runtimes (Adobe AIR and/or Flash Player) as well as by Product (Flex, Flash Authoring, LiveCycle, and/or ColdFusion).

For more information, check out the following blog posts by real live members of the Adobe Learning Resources team:
"Introducing the ActionScript 3.0 Reference for the Adobe Flash Platform " via Adobe Flash Platform Runtime Documentation Team blog
"One ActionScript Language Reference to rule them all" via FlashLit blog (Rob Dixon)
Also, head over to the Developer Connection site and read Ed Sullivan's exellent "Introducing Adobe Cookbooks 2.0" article.
Update: Wow, there are quite a few more Cookbooks than I expected:
To summarize the decisions we've made:
- Replace SimpleText with Label, a UIComponent version of the same component.
- Instead of extending GraphicElement, RichText will extend UIComponent (like Label will).
- All of the spark text components will move to spark.components.*, so there will be spark.components.Label, spark.components.RichText, and spark.components.RichEditableText.
- The base class for SimpleText and RichText, spark.primitives.supportClasses.TextGraphicElement, will now extend UIComponent (instead of GraphicElement) and be moved and renamed to spark.components.supportClasses.TextBase. All of our text skin parts will now be typed as TextBase instead of TextGraphicElement.
- For now, RichEditableText and RichText will co-exist. Performance numbers showed that it may be possible to collapse them, but we don't have the time right now to do this. We will revisit this later on, time permitting.
You can download new builds of Flext 4 SDK from here.

]]>Oh no you didn't!
OH YES, WE DID!!!1!
You can still browse the Flex 4 Language Reference at http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/gumbo/langref/, as well as the user docs at http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/gumbo/html/, but if you want to see the latest and greatest version of the language reference (with all the latest API changes -- http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Rename+List, I'm looking at YOU!), head over to http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+4 and download the Language Reference ZIP.
Yay!

]]>So, "What is Blueprint", you may be asking yourself:
Blueprint is a plugin for Adobe Flex Builder 3 and Adobe Flash Builder 4 that allows users to query for Adobe Flex and Adobe Flash code examples found on the Web directly inside of the development environment. The purpose of this preview is to assess the level of community interest in this type of customized search interface for code examples.
Very cool indeed! For more information, check out the Flex Doc Team blog's entry over at http://blogs.adobe.com/flexdoc/2009/06/the_blueprint_eclipse_plugin_i.html, or download Blueprint directly from Adobe Labs at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/blueprint/.
