Flex Camp Cleveland
April 7th, 2008
Today is Flex Camp Cleveland, an educational seminar targeted at someone starting out in Flex. If you’ve had some experience doing software development and are interested in building RIA’s, the entire Flex Camp series are really useful to attend.
The lineup of speakers is pretty impressive, including Ben Forta and Adam Lehman from Adobe, Kris Schultz and myself from Resource Interactive, Doug Pierce and Curtis Gayheart from WonderLab and Scott Andrews from DimpleDough. I’ll be giving a more detailed event report when it’s over, however for the time being I will post my presentation assets here for download.

First, thanks for providing source code!
There is an issue, after importing the zip of the source code into Flex Builder 3,
the source code throws an error on import.
Is libs a custom library you’ve created? Or, can we redirect it somewhere in the Flex code library?
Thanks!
Michael, great job today. Just got back into Columbus. Had a fun day. Continue to have a great time at RI.
Ben Forta warned about dashes in XML.
E4X treats them as subtraction operators.
So what’s the work around?
Hello world!
This doesn’t work…
{xmlService.lastResult.data.first-child.second-child}
This was suggested by the Adobe Flex team [http://www.nabble.com/e4x-Dash-td16386671.html]…
{xmlService.lastResult.data.descendants(“first-child”)}
which may work for one child but not more…
{xmlService.lastResult.data.descendants(“first-child”).descendants(“second-child”)}
I also tried this…
{xmlService.lastResult.data.eval(“first-child”).eval(“second-child”)}
Any suggestions? Thanks
