Well learning Flex in short period is due to its increasing demand. Its very useful and I wanted to quote some words from Adobe:
"The primary use of ActionScript in your Flex applications is probably going to be for working with the visual controls and containers in your application. Flex provides several techniques for doing this, including referencing a Flex control in ActionScript and manipulating properties during the instantiation of controls and containers."
PDF is very helpful to me, thanks to Bruce and James for writing it in an easy way and integrating the things in a good manner. Oklahoma Felony Thanks for sharing.
