Flex 3:Feature Introductions
From Adobe Labs
Welcome to the Adobe® Flex™ 3 Beta 2 release!
We're excited to show you many of the new features included in this release. The Flex engineering team has put together a set of introductions to the features that they worked on. For each feature there will be either a video or a text description of a feature. Some of these will include references to sample code or assets that you may download to play with yourself (don't worry if a link is to beta1 samples, that means the code hasn't changed).
