January ‘09 Meeting: Building Event Driven Flex Applications

Meeting Date: January 21, 2009 at 8:00pm

Meeting Summary

Are you confused with the new event model in AS3? Are you looking for ways to make your code more flexible and easier to read? Do you struggle with controlling the flow of your apps?

Come out and learn some basic techniques for building event driven applications in Flex. See event driven architecture put into action to control state and flow of your applications. You will see several different events from the “mx.events” package in action, as well as “custom” events created for special needs. See how to implement your own event classes to decouple parts of your application.

The demo and code samples for this presentation will cover mostly event handling, but will also touch upon basic uses of “mx:states” and “mx:transitions”.
