We are attempting to use flex as a tool to create what traditionally would have been thick client/server applications. We are looking for other developers that are doing similar type projects so that we can get together and show Adobe that the things that will make our lives easier are worth doing.
Towards that end, we are interested in helping support your efforts by voting for your bug fixes and enhancement requests, and in return we would like for you to review ours, and hopefully vote for them. We currently have two items that we feel are extremely important to application developers; http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-16897 - This one is a request to fix a glaring hole in the architecture where there is no convenient way to establish a tab loop within an object. A tab loop is what flex calls the progression of moving from field to field throughout a form using the tab key. Real business users use the tab key in order to do data entry efficiently. Currently there is no convenient way to have the user's focus stay within a single object. In a complex application the cursor will move outside of where a reasonable user would expect causing confusion. http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-16896 - This is a bug that occurs when a user clicks on a data grid column header of a date or a number field and the date field has a null as the top most cell in that column. It has been tested by Adobe, it was determined to be a bug, yet nothing has been done about it. Please post your bug requests so that we can vote on them. If we work together perhaps we can demonstrate to Adobe what is important to what I hope is an important part of their market. Paul
