Flashmech

Here’s a new contest organised by ScaleNine to challenge and show off your Flex skinning prowess!

Jump over to take a look at the contest details, some pretty cool video tutorials, and get started with it. This contest packs some really awesome prizes too.

I see this as yet another chance for me to work my right brain and understand the intricacies in skinning a Flex theme altogether. Definitely without a doubt, it’s going to be another great experience. *w00t~*

Andre Charland just posted some cool information about Flex 4 (Gumbo) over at InsideRIA.

It includes a video by Ely Greenfield, an engineer from the Flex team, talking about the new way to skin components using MXML which I think is really worth checking out.

What I’m really interested to see in Flex 4 Builder is how the interface will be to aid designers to customise all these components. Will it look like the current CSS panel? Integrated with it? Whatever it is I just know things are only going to get more exciting!

Download the Flex 4 SDK and start playing with things! *w00t~!*

For the new Flex Builder 3 Professional License!

It was a simple enough contest really, to write a review of the new Flex Builder 3 and post it in the local Singapore Flex Usergroup forum.

Of all the 5 participants, all 5 won! What more can I say but a mega “thanks!!” to Adobe for supporting growth of the local community! *whoohoo!*

Here’s the direct link to my Flex Builder 3 review entry.

Once again, thanks Adobe!!!!

Who knows, this might really change my life! I can already see many good days of Flexing goodness to come.

I’ve just checked and it seems that someone had just given up their ticket!
