Adobe is now selling Flex Builder 2 for $249, still no word on the pricing for upgrading to Flex Builder 3 (how about free for everyone who paid $499 for FB2?)

Sounds like a simple job, slap down a VBox, set vertical and horizontal alignment, add an [...]
This is a test for an image manager component that I’m building. The final version will have an upload feature, and when you sort the images they’ll hook up with their model in Rails using acts_as_list to save the sorting in the database. Right click the swf below to view source.

Here are my notes from the LA stop of the tour.
[Getting There]
The large orange juice before the drive up from OC might have been a mistake. Finding a rest stop in East LA is a potentially a pant wetting experience with an empty bladder, so having an Austin Powers’ [...]
RubyAMF now can be used as a Rails plugin or you can run it as a Mongrel process. There’s a nice screencast on Rails integration here.
The one-man RubyAMF show that is Aaron Smith also has a Super Simple Remoting class to get you up and running super simply.
Ruby has gone from no AMF support to [...]
Looking for some Rails like scaffolding for Flex and PHP? Try clicking the purple eclipse logo at the top left of Flex Builder 3.
You’ll be greeted with a database connection wizard that helps you set up a REST CRUD service, it even builds a mini-app for managing records.
