Video tutorial: Create Flex container components with Flash CS4
In this video I show you how to make a Flex container component with Flash CS4 and the Flex Component Kit for Flash.
The Flex Component Kit for Flash is incredibly powerful and allows you to combine your Flash design/development skills with the power of the Flex framework.

Video tutorial: Make Flex components with Flash CS4
The Flex component kit for Flash is seriously underestimated and I’ve always been a strong supporter for it. In this video, you’ll learn how easy it is to make your own custom Flex component with Flash CS4.
I was actually kidding in the video, but I already got a few emails asking me for the source of this beautiful TheaterDisplay movieclip… so here it is ;-)
Thermo and Flash/Flex workflows at MAX
I’m sure most of you know by now that MAX is THE event to get more info on the new technologies that Adobe is working on. We’ve been talking about Thermo for a while now and if you looked at the MAX schedule, I’m sure you noticed that there are quite a few sessions on Thermo at both MAX San Francisco and MAX Milan.
Ryan Stewart is doing a “Next-Generation Flex Authoring” session in both San Francisco and Milan. Ryan will provide walkthroughs and demos of Thermo and Flex Builder Next.
I am going to team up with the Thermo team (NJ and Adam Cath) in San Francisco and with Andrew Spaulding in Milan to do a 90 minute hands-on with Thermo session. In San Francisco, all our lab sessions are sold out but I just saw we have exactly 4 places left in Milan! If you haven’t registered for the lab session, you need to do so now. These hands-on sessions are only available to a limited amount of people and you do need to register for them!
More info on this session in San Francisco.
More info on this session in Milan.
I am also doing a “Flex Workflows with Flash CS4 Professional” session where you’ll learn how to integrate your Flash CS4 designs and animations with Flex development. This is not just about the Flex component kit but I’ll also talk about new workflows between Flash CS4 and Flex that you haven’t heard about yet.
More info on this session in San Francisco.

I am really excited about MAX this year. I know I said it before but I’ll say it again. We have so much cool stuff to show you guys at the keynotes and sneak peaks! And I also want to point out that we won’t be announcing everything at MAX in San Francisco. Some of the technologies won’t even be ready at MAX San Francisco but will be ready at MAX Milan!
If you haven’t registered yet, I posted a discount code a few days ago that saves you €240 on the price of a full conference pass.
Also, if you want to meet up in San Francisco or Milan, be sure to drop me a note. See you there!
