Sample application to add a vertical separator to a toggle button bar.

Ive been playing around with flex 4 skins and built this slightly pointless app to demonstrate a skin for a mac osx style stickie note

source enabled as usual.. simply click on the canvas to add a note. Yeah it would be nice to edit and resize the not on the fly.. next time..

Sample custom title window with close button skin.

Source enabled as usual

I like to keep some snippets of code handy, and these simple button skins ill prob use sometime/somewhere.

I’m going to keep adding to this project and probably convert these to flex 4 skins tonight.

Creating a GST component, this is very much a work in progress. Need to come back and add some validation and handling for the length of the GST number. Source enabled.

Ive been creating a simple drawing app to play around with the new flex 4 skins

nothing exciting, but a good little sample for learning, some code gleaned from the internet

Ok, theres a lot of great functionality in ElementRivers Sourcemate but a few I have been using day to day are:

• Enable and Disable trace() statements – I often add trace statements and forget to delete some of them, this nice little feature to run through your project (or selected projects ) and disable all comments
• Show Templates – A nice snippets/template section
• Insert Comments  - Generates ASDoc placeholders for you in your classes. Theres also a generate asdocs feature.
• Enable TODO, FIXME, XXX markers – as above this also will run through your current project and add todo markers in your task list – fantastic.. (see pic)

Theres plenty more features, I just havent had time to explore it fully. Yet it appears I will be definitely purchasing it.

Another simple example reading some country code records from a database using amfphp

Application : Source

The login is false.. i.e. you can just press the submit button, and application doesn’t do real inserts into the table. But the records are read from the database.

Heres a few swiz project samples i have used for learning.. thanks to these blogs/sites for the great resources.

a) The max sample application from the following url: http://code.google.com/p/swizframework/downloads/list

My First App

My first “hello world” is pretty much the same structure as Joe Rineharts, except I chose to use amfphp and a simple helloworld  class (see below ) instead of coldfusion, because I will be using it in an upcoming project. I will do a better sample with more data.

Yeah I know its boring, I’ll write something more complex soon. Sourceview is enabled so you can see the code.

nb: just learning, so improvements/suggestions always welcome

Simple helloworld class.
