Lazy Flex Blogger

ok, so ive pretty much become resolved to the fact that its almost impossible to focus on a blog as well as learning :)

that said, ive learned a ton in the past two or three weeks, and ill have some examples of what ive learned up in a next couple days.

to recap, though, so far i have learned:

• looping
• conditional actionscript (if else, etc)
• how to use the displayList with addChild()
• how to add event listeners, how to handle the events that happen, etc
• how to move objects on the stage, using easing, using trig and a few other ways
• how to draw in absolute positions using just actionscript

what ive also found out to be more true than anything is that you can be a flex interface developer all day long using just mxml and some inline actionscript. however the real way to become a VERY good flex developer is to learn actionscript first and then move into mxml. since mxml is generated down to actionscript and then compiled into .swf files, you can really do just about everything in flex with just actionscript.

so, im going to become first and actionscript 3 developer and then a mxml/flex developer.

cheers til next post.
