When developing Flex and AIR applications for clients / customers it’s always nice to deliver a structured structured Flash Builder project with well documented sources.
Similar to JavaDoc for Java, Actionscript has the opportunity to use a tool that generates HTML files in which you can navigate through all your project packages, ActionScript Classes and MXML files. ASDoc is essentially a command line tool, but you can configure Eclipse / Flash Builder in such a way that you can run ASDoc with a click of a button. This example show you how to do this.

Flex 3 was a great product, but to be fair….changing default application appearance was a pain in the ass. I’m not a designer by any means so I was always a bit frustrated when I was trying to do something different with the appearance.

One powerful thing in Flex/Flash is the use of states. States can be used to control the behavior of your application based on the state that it’s in at the moment. Let’s say we want to have an display and edit mode in our application and we want to show something different in those modes / states. Let’s create a simple example that shows you how you can use states to achieve this.
