Flex Databinding (19:00 – 20:00) – Johannes Nel
Flex databinding is one of the main benefits of using Flex. The goal of this presentation is to cover this often underused feature of the Flex framework.
Flash Lite 2 (20:15 – 21:15) – Richard Leggett
This session covers intermediate to advanced Flash Lite 2 development, by showcasing a video jukebox application, the use of the drawing API to dynamically generate content, and an experimental action game. Topics will focus on common pitfalls and best practices, as this is where Flash Lite development really differs from its desktop counterpart and where most developers get hung up. The aim is to allow fast learners to take away skills that they can apply to Flash Lite development as well as to show inspirational examples of what is possible. The session will also cover the creation of a real time multiplayer game, utilizing the newest Flash Lite features.

Best practice – > 00P – Design patterns
i’m in and i’d like to see some advanced shape tweening covered for mobile devices. Or seriously …..memory management and related good clean coding techniques for AS2+!
Actionscript for Designers type thing. More advanced than a basic text book, OOP for beginners.
Dag nammit – I can’t make it after all. I’ll have to catch the vids.
My phone line was down for 5 days, 5 days of no email web access, and as I work from home no work! There are some positives.
I have nothing positive to contribute. Can you let me in anyway?
How about giving a talk on when the next meeting is going to be?
- Actually I am interested in pay-per-view (I’m not talking about my personal viewing habbits mind)
Yeah, whats the plan for the next hook up dude?
A session on setting up and using FlashDevelop for MXML & AS3 would be good for all the ‘OSFlash lovers’ and ‘can’t afford Flexbuilderers’.
