Flex scales much better than HTML applications. It offloads a huge amount
of work from the server to all of the clients and if you're using AMF or
RTMP for data it greatly reduces the size of data sent over the wire are
compared to HTML. Also AMF and RTMP are faster to serialize so it improves
How much data do you really need to load in the tree? If it's only a
thousand or so records, while that may be a lot to some, it's fine to load
at once and forget lazy loading. If the data is sent to client via AMF then
the size over the wire isn't that big either, and most likely the additional
Not possible in web hosted Flex. Even with FP10 which supports reading and

AIR can do it though, if that's an option for you.

If you want to know to compare two values with tolerance then subtract them
and see if the result is within your tolerance.
public function within(x:Number, y:Number, tolerance:Number):Boolean {
var difference:Number = x - y;
return difference = tolerance difference = - tollerance;
}

We're listening to the button and not the group because we can easily bind
our button to our datamodel but listening to the group requires more manual
work on our part. So we go from a simple binding expression to a more
complex loop which simply redoes the same work that RadioButtonGroup

In Flex 3 when you have radio buttons in a group and click on one of the
radio buttons, only the change event for the clicked-on radio button fires.
The radio button that was previously selected does not dispatch a change

This behavior can be overridden by the Flex 2

buggy. It's best to use either selectedIndex or selectedItem, but not
both. You'll get much more consistent results that way.

I don't remember the details but there's some compiler flag that marks your

That may be what's causing you trouble, but

Here's a C# class we use to parse out SVN info from the working copy .svn
folders. Once we have this a simple regex replace is used on the

I'm happy with Office 2003 for now and our company is evaluating alternate

ribbon, and in general bloat).
But the very important point is that the OP
We have a Version.as class which defines a version number in a constant and
