IFBIN - Great Software By Example

Ralf created two calculator examples to show the differences in using MXML vs ActionScript for the view of his application. The difference in these two apps is the single biggest stumbling block in learning Flex development.

The key is that MXML is a toolset that allows for easy extension either through MXML or via ActionScript directly. MXML simplifies the layout once you grasp how the code binds together to make a working application. Or if you prefer you can always use ActionScript instead.

Hopefully these two examples will make the gap between ActionScript and MXML seem very obvious and allow you to transition into the world of Flex development.

Ralf, thanks for 2 invaluable examples using Flex.

Cheers,

Ted ;)
