Learning Flex 3 (Alaric Cole)

Getting Up to Speed with Rich Internet Applications (RIAs)

Examples and Source Code

Here is where all of the examples and source code for the book can be found. In these chapters, there will be one or more projects that exemplify the techniques discussed. Choose your chapter below, and you will be brought to a page with links to these examples.

If you prefer, you can dowload all examples/source in one zip file below.  While I’ve included built examples in the links above, this zip file only contains the source code. You’ll need to unzip it, then import each project individually into Flex Builder to build them and view the examples.

    I put together a Photo Gallery from Chapter 11.
    I am getting an error when I first click on a
    list item to bring up a photo:
    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

    This seems to refer to the change event on line 26 of the main mxml file.
    When I search on line I am referred to the possibility that something has not been instantiated that is being called.

    Any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, I consider your book to be the best tutorial available for flex-beginners. (But a little background in HTML, CSS, AS3 will of course help to maximize it’s usefullness :-) )

    I enjoy reading your book and the examples are great. I am an old guy (62), and if your book can teach me to be a flex developer, it will certainly teach anyone else. Thanks

    The source code for Chapter 10, Search, when copied into FLEX, shows an error. Am I missing something?

    Hi Alaric, I’m trying to pass the following values to a back end java program.
    private function showInfo():void
    {
    Alert.show(”First name is ” + firstNameTextInput.text +
    “\n Last name is ” + lastNameTextInput.text +
    “\n Email address is ” + emailTextInput.text +
    “\n Store number is ” + storeNumberTextInput.text +
    “\n Subject is ” + subject.text +
    “\n Job Title is ” + jobTitleTextInput.text +
    “\n Message is ” + messageText.text);
    How do I…
    1. Send a message to the user to verify if these are the correct values
    2. Pass the values to my backend JAVA program with the following…

    Any suggestions you can give would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help and, so far, I’m on Chapter 8 of Learning Flex 3.

    Hi Alaric – - Your book is a fantastic intro to FLEX. It brings together very clearly quite a number of items I had discovered various places on Adobe’s site and on other blogs, and places them in a logical easy to follow order.

    I am trying to work some of the early examples and cannot find the file simple.zip on your web site (the book says it should be here). Could you please provide the link?

    Thanks.

    It should be where the book points to: http://www.greenlike.com/flex/learning/projects/simple.zip
