Flex.org, the home of the Flex developer community worldwide and a one stop destination for everything Flex, today added a new page on Flex components and the introductory paragraph of the page is pointing to FlexBox:
“You can also find a comprehensive list of Flex components at Flex Box, a directory for Flex components.”
According to Google Analytics, in the three months or so since I launched FlexBox, it has had over 33000 visits by about 14000 visitors who came from every part of the globe that you can think of…. I had never before heard of few of those countries that appear in the list from where these visitors came from.
It feels great to know that this little tool that I put together in a couple of days using an xml dump of my Firefox bookmark list, is helping Flex developers around the globe. read more

There was also a brief discussion on what could be the topics for future sessions … here are some suggestions that came up … read more

Prayank Swaroop, Adobe Flex Evangelist for the Asia Pacific region a few hours back announced the the formation of Bangalore Flex User Group and Chennai Flex User Group on the Flex India mailing list.
This is very exiting !!! Thank you Prayank for facilitating this, I am positive that this step will go a long way in nurturing the local flex community and I look forward to meeting and interacting with all you Flex enthusiasts out there.
So what are you waiting for? If you are interested in flex and you live in either Bangalore or Chennai go ahead and leave a comment on the announcements on the Flex India mailing list to let Prayank know who all are coming. read more

This is a question to Adobe and everyone else … I would like to know in detail which products from Creative Suite 3 can/should be incorporated into a Flex User Interface designer to a Flex developer work flow and how each of these products would facilitate or enhance this flow?
I asked this same question at the CS3 launch in Bangalore on Thursday but the Adobe presenters there had very little idea about what Flex is (one of them thought Flex is a server side only technology) and could not help me much. I know both Fireworks CS3 and Flash CS3 have some special support for Flex but I’m yet to explore all that.
Thank you in advance to everyone for all your help
