Flex and your existing View logic We have three presentations line up for this month. The basic theme is how to make Flex work with your existing HTML code and also how to make your Flex application look better with the Degrafa graphics framework. Degrafa : Declarative Graphics Framework <http://www.degrafa.com/> A topic that got a lot of attention at the latest 360|Flex Conference was Degrafa. It is an open source graphical framework built for Flex and uses MXML instead of Actionscript. With Degrafa, you can do advance graphical techniques such as skinning, masks, shapes, repeaters and advance styling straight from your MXML code. It can programmatically create and manipulate your graphics at runtime and make your Flex applications look even better. John will show how to install Degrafa and it can speed up your Flex development. Changing HTML based Forms to Flex Darin will show a technique for using Flex and ColdFusion to refresh the interface for legacy HTML forms without having to change the business logic or technology (asp, php etc...) on which the form is based. Flex and Javascript Layering Our second topic is using the ExternalInterface class and JavaScript to allow Flex to "play nice" with the browser. Darin will show a simple technique using layering to maximize the usable footprint of your browsers visible screen real estate.
