Flex 2-3 / Actionscript 3.0
I have been involved with a number of Flex projects over the past two years and have some tips/thoughts on the platform.
- Building SWCs with Flex Ant Tasks – How to build SWCs with ANT
- Flex 3 Beta – A quick review with my thoughts on Flex 3 Beta
Flash 8/Actionscript 2.0
I have worked intensively in the Flash/Actionscript world since 2003 and to be frank, its a tricky world! Below are some articles laden with tips, tricks and an occasional gripe or two 
- Add Icon support to ComboBox – How to display icons in a ComboBox
- Jazz Up Flash Components with Filters – Use filters to add new life to Flash V2 components
- Flash ComboBox Display Issues Explained – The Flash V2 ComboBox gets a bad rap primarily because its misunderstood. I explain how this component *really* works so you can use it without pain.
- Got AS2? (The trouble with migrating to AS3) – More of a commentary article for those who have invested alot of time into Actionscript 2 and why migrating to Actionscript 3 is painful. I would *love* any comments from people who can point out misperceptions I may have about migrating to the AS3 world
- Using “interface” in MTASC without syntax errors – Title should be self-explanatory.
- OS X, Eclipse, as2ant Tutorial – How to get as2ant rocking on your Mac/Eclipse setup! Check out the Flash/Actionscript + Eclipse article below first if you haven’t gotten that going yet.
- Flash/Actionscript + Eclipse on Mac OS-X – Running a solid flash environment in eclipse requires some setup and has some additional gotchas when running on a Mac.
Open Source Flash/Actionscript 2.0 Resources
Checkout the following sites for open source Flash development.
Note – There is no future for the Flash 8/Actionscript 2.0 way of doing things. Most development projects on this road have slowed or ceased altogether. Now is time to switch over to Flex if you haven’t already!
