Flex Experiments

This page is for collecting my experiments with Adobe Flex. Each project below represents a small experiment with some aspect of Flex and Flash that might prove useful for the future. I am using the brand-new Flash Builder 4 with Eclipse. Each project will be shown here as a separate Flash file, with source code embedded. To view the source for a particular project, right-click the flash page itself and choose 'View Source'.

To view any Flash file here, you'll need Adobe Flash 10. You can get it here.
