Online Flash Users Group - Flex Training

There is a Flash Users Group that conducts all of its meetings online once per month. The meetings are recorded so that you can watch the presentation later. The group has not actually met as frequently as monthly, but the following recorded meetings provided some high-level introductions to Flex:

• Flex Data Binding and Events - This presentation illustrated methods for binding data between components using the BindingUtils class and the bindProperty method.
• Flex Containers and Event Bubbling - Part 1 discussed the basics of containers and the presentation aspects of them. Part 2 illustrated the difference between the capture, target and bubble phases of events.
• Object Oriented Programming in Flex - This presentation illustrates the construction of a custom list box control using custom components, custom events and click handlers.
• Simple Singletons in Flex - Singletons are classes that have only one instance in the entire application. The Singleton class illustrated in the presentation extended the UIComponent class so that events could be dispatched from the Singleton.
