Today, Adobe launches their website. It has a new look, new colors and lovely mini logos. Product pages has really cool backgrounds, and an introduction video at their homepage. But unfortunately, Adobe Labs is not part of the revamp. One tiny detail though, it’s left aligned but overall, I think the site looks good and fresh.

Adobe launches a Flash HD Gallery. It has a few Hi-def videos for sample.
Definitely in the next few months, we’ll see trailer sites utilizing this new feature.
Here’s a simple Horizontal Dotted Line Component in Flex. You can implement simple modifications in the source code to create the vertical version of the component.
Demo:
Right Click to view the source.
David Tucker posted a series of tutorials concerning Cairngorm. It is worth a read.
Donald Martinez extended the datagrid component that will allow you to implicitly page contents in a data grid… You can view his post and download the component or view the demo by clicking this link.
You will need to download the as3corelib classes for this to work.
JSONManager is a wrapper class to simplify JSON service calls. It has a feature that allows you to call service's asynchronously.
