Sho has put together a Flex 2 example that shows how to implement textfield auto-completion within a Flex application.
You can view the entire example, as well as grab the source from here.
Just a quick fyi. I have a created a del.icio.us tag named “toblog” which contains items that I plan on blogging when I get some time. Since I don’t always have time to blog right when I want to, you can use this page / feed to see which items that I will be blogging soon.
Basically, a Mike Chambers’ blog sneak peak.
You can view my toblog tag here.
You can grab the RSS feed for the tag here.
I am working on an ActionScript 3 library for the del.icio.us online API. I have most of the stub code written, and documented. Before I really start writing the code, I wanted to get feedback on the current API, and see if any one had any comments and / or suggestions.
I have posted the API docs online, and you can use those to review the API.
del.icio.us does not have a crossdomain.xml file, so I still need to figure out to best way to allow the user of the API to specify a proxy for the class to use (when necessary).
I made a post last weekend pointing out that the Flex SDK (Framework and compilers) would be free (for commercial and non-commercial use), and was surprised by the number of people who didn’t know this.
Well, it turns out that we haven’t really made it easy to find out and so are in the process of making some changes throughout the website and labs to make this clearer.
In the meantime, if you are looking for information on this from the Adobe website, we have a page that discusses the SDK and the fact that we will be releasing it for free (along with info on the free version of Flex Data Services.
Posting here so I can quickly find it in the future.
If you are lucky enough to have an iriver u10 device, then check out this post from Justin Every-Church that shows how to customize the iRiver u10 through manipulating its built in Flash files.
Among other things, this allows you to change the SWF used as the background.

Check out this nice Flex 2 Color Picker that Tinic Uro put together. (Tinic is one of the engineers on the player team).

I uploaded a screencast of me building the example that I put together in yesterday’s JSON tutorial.
UPDATE: Screencast is no longer available.
It is a simple example that shows how to use JSON serialized data within an ActionScript 3 / Flex 3 app.

I know this is old news for most, but I just wanted to make a quick post and remind everyone that Flex 2 Public Beta 2 is available for download on labs.
This includes:
One thing that I wanted to point out is that we now have an SDK only download of the Flex Framework and command line compilers (including MXMLC). We did this to make it easy for developers on Mac and Linux to start playing with the technology, without having to first jump through hoops. We will be releasing the final version of the SDK for free for both commercial and non-commercial development.
