I personally started out by browsing through the sample applications. Then poked about the Flex store application to see how some of the samples are actually implimented IRL. My next step was to work through the quick start examples, which give a feel of what it's like to 'start from scratch'. My next order of operation was to do my own application that mimicked the Flexstore's features (like drag n drop). At this point, I felt comfortable heading off in my own direction. The best thing is to keep a link to the online docs handy at all times.

For some limited, but possibly useful quick tutorials check here:

They don't go into much depth, but kind of give a skimming overview of some new features. There are also 2 or 3 more videos here:

In Flex, under Help>Welcome in the bottom left there several non-video tutorials as well.

so in picking up flex. I find that having mxml everywhere is really
confusing. I have a coding mind and when I see mxml all over I get
totally confused by it. I can't even explain really how I get confused.
I just don't like it. It doesn't make sense to me. It's not code.

Does anyone know of any good references of tutorials on getting around
mxml and building almost everything with actionscript. Im sure it can be
done. it might take more code but it is easier to understand. would the
solution be as3 projects vs mxml application? it thats the case is it
possible to use flex components in as3 projects?

I'm just kinda looking for some different solutions for getting around
mxml as much as possible.

has anyone else found mxml to be more confusing than actionscript?
