Intro to Flex

[edit] Abstract

Flex is a framework to create RIAs utilizing the Flash Player. This presentation is an introduction to using Flex. We will cover what Flex is, what it provides, and give a brief history. We will then walk through developing an application that features:

  • CSS & Styling
  • Drag-n-drop
  • Data binding
  • Effects
  • Video (sorry I didn't get to it at the Refresh preso, but it's as simple as using the VideoDisplay component, and setting the source property to the URL for an FLV file)

[edit] Source Code

If you are using Flex Builder, you may import these projects by clicking File -> Import... and import it as a Flex Project. If you are using the command-line tools, simply unzip the ZIP and compile the source files using mxmlc (you will have to add it to your path):

mxmlc <mxml file>.mxml

This will compile and create a SWF called <mxml file>.swf in the same directory.
