This article demonstrates how to create interactive dashboards in Adobe Flex. We create a weather dashboard from ground-up and include gauges and other data visualization components. The weather data is received from Yahoo! Weather RSS feed.

Some quick ideas for how to drum up more work for yourself, despite the apparent downturn in the Flash freelance market.

Here I will explain how to create an Alert window when we press the exit/close button in an AIR application, so that we have to validate this exiting avoiding that it closes up directly. This way we can control that the user closes the application without having accomplished a necessary operation, for example, without saving the changes made in an application that edits documents.

In this tutorial, we will build a class together that will automate the task of giving any group of buttons some "button disabling" behavior. You will learn about how to make the class handle any type of button. You will learn about how to decide what tasks ought to be "built-in" to the class, and which tasks are best managed by outside code. You will also learn about interfaces and polymorphism (painlessly, I promise). What you will learn about AS3 classes and OOP is the important thing, but at the same time, I think the ButtonDisabler class is something you wlll find handy and useful in the future. And I hope you'll also realize that if you can make something like this, there are any number of other similar things that you can make as well. It just takes some imagination.
