Building Flex Apps With Flex Builder

Another Adobe Developer Week presentation that I viewed is called Building Flex Apps With Flex Builder by Ted Patrick. This presentation provided a useful example of building an application in Flex Builder and covered the following items:

• VBox and HBox containers automatically position controls within them. The Canvass container holds controls as well, but you specify the positioning (aided by automatic guides and snapping).
• Creation of an MXML component (project code | component code)
• Creation of a new ActionScript class (project code | class code)
• Illustration of the robust debugging capabilities
• Use of the [Bindable] directive to make data in a variable bindable to controls
• Deployment of the application in the bin folder along with "View Source" capability.
• You can specify a minimum size for the application by making the appropriate selections in the Flex project settings dialog box.
