God help the poor people who come along, new to Flex 1.5, 3 months from now only to find that half the messages since MAX don't even apply to the things they're desperately trying to learn.

Hehehe *raises hand as Flex Newbie*
But I have been using Flash and Actionscript for 5+ years and have
been coding CF since it's first Beta release. Plus I have a Degree
in Business Computer Programing where I was fully educated in OOP
with C++.
I understand what you are saying, and there is a valid logic to it.
There is a flaw to it as well. Its kinda like those party lines you
call to "meet a hot babe" and all that you find is a bunch of guys.
If you put all the n00bs like me in one room, and the experts in
another, it will just be people who don't have any answers asking
questions of people who don't have any answers. rofl
Don't take any of my most recent posts wrong, I agree that Flex is
great. We have an entire project, grant, and I have an offer for me
to go to full time state emp specificaly because of Flex2. Its just
frusterating as it seems most of the syntax etc I learned with Flex
1.5 is just causing errors now.
I would have grave doubts that creating an all n00b area would
benifit the n00bs, though I am sure it would benifit the pros :)
Just my 2000 cents :D
