Learning Fx4 from Scratch - Update 2

DIGG IT!     3 Comments Published Tuesday, October 27, 2009 at 8:03 AM .

Yesterday I completed 4 new pages with 10 Flex 4 samples in Learn Flex 4 from Scratch. Now is really the time to start learning Flex 4 given the stability of Flex 4 Beta 2 and the volume of great session content available post Adobe MAX.

Here are the new sections in Learn Flex 4 from Scratch:

Element Creation
addElement, addElementAt, removeElement, removeElementAt
Element Properties
States

Have I told you that I really love States! They are my favorite feature in Flex 4 (thus far) and really make building applications much easier. The syntax change for States really makes them easy to read and use in your application. Prior to Flex 4 you placed all state property changes in tag so they were remote from the components they affected. In Flex 4, state code is added directly to the components themselves with dot notation.

I could go on and on about States but best to let you ready it over at Learn Flex 4 from Scratch!

Also I would love some feedback. If you feel I have missed something, I have enabled comments on the Learn Flex 4 from Scratch site. So feel free to leave feedback.

Cheers,

Ted :)

    Ted, Do you know if they are going to do anything in Flex 4 to address trying to print from flex in flex 4? Its much needed.

    In an older posting you discussed the flex 3 crud wizard. I can't get it to work with sql server express. Someone else posted re an issue like that a while ago but no one has replied...any input on this?
