Yea, the developer week one is exactly what I'm looking for.  Thanks.

Ben said all of the preso was online, except for some of the older
demos that he built very early on, and did not want to release without
reworl.

I'll try to find my notes on where he said it was. (flex.org?)

 pretty busy, too, so it would be much easier if we weren't on someone else's
 time schedule.



 Looking over the Adobe site, I don't see one, but wondered if there was one
 somewhere else.

Well, the examples are all over the place, including flex.org and adobe.
But I haven't seen an actual demo, like with audio and live videos of the
examples so I don't have to take the time to download them and install them.
Even though I could install the Builder and install the demos, I was hoping
for a convincing demo so as to not waste any billable time if the boss
didn't think it was worth it.  (which is a ridiculous statement, I know, but
billable time is always the goal...)

Oh, how well I understand.

You know what is worse than billable time? Contractors _burning_
billable hours without a task. That is what keeps _me_ up at night
these days.

We were lucky enough to convince our boss (and he was able to convince
his boss) that we needed to jump on this Flex bandwagon. We haven't
got approval yet for the FDS, but I think that also may be coming. The
Media Server is a tougher sell.

Boy, I wish our contractors were up to speed on it. It would
drastically help in our administrative websites starting right now. We
may even start requiring it for new projects.

If you do come across a walkthrough, let us know.

What about the flex in 10 minutes, etc., demos?
(which did, in fact, get me going in 10! =)

Have you checked them out?

I can't seem to find them now, but I could look through my old sent
mail, as I sent a co-worker the link (I was sure I'd remember it ;).

Maybe from C.Cantrell's site? Dern, ah cahnna rememba.

I thought all those video walk-throughs were a pretty good idea...

Surely you've seen some of them on the Adobe site, so I may
be off my rocker and thinking about something else.
