CHAPTER 2

Flex in Action

Flash has always been a great tool for adding interactivity to a

website.

But with the advent of Flex a whole new group of

engineers, designers, and enthusiasts have been able to build a

wide variety of Flash applications. This chapter will discuss a

cross section of applications to give you some ideas for what

you can do with Flex. As you are looking through these exam-

ples, bear two things in mind:

• Although these examples often look dauntingly complex

to implement, the Flex framework makes much of this

work very easy.

• All of these applications work without any changes on

Windows, Macintosh, and Linux, both in the browser

and, often, on the desktop using Adobe’s AIR technology.

I found most of the examples in this chapter in the Flex Show-

case portion of the Flex.org (http://flex.org) website (http://

flex.org/). The Showcase has an RSS feed that is worth sub-

scribing to so that you can get a sense of what other people are

producing using Flex.
