You've heard us talk about what's new and what we think is cool, but now it is your chance tell us about your experience with the betas. We'll be having two Open Beta Meetings - one for new and beginner Flex usersand the other for more advanced folks. These meetings will be an opportunity for us to gather feedback from the community. Below we've provided some areas in particular we'd like feedback on, however, these meetings will primarily be led by you. We'd primarily like you to focus on the workflow and features, so if you have bugs please file these in the Flex Bug System http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/ and if your having other difficulties, please also post to the Labs forums http://forums.adobe.com/community/labs/gumbo . Food for thought: * What was your biggest pain points in the Flex 4.0 beta? * What were the first problems that you ran into and how did you get around them? * How is the skinning experience overall? What are the hardest parts? How might it be improved? * Haveyou had any difficulties using both Spark and Halo components mixed inthe same application? What was the combination, and what were thedifficulties? * The Spark component set and its features arecertainly not complete yet, and will not be complete when we releaseFlex 4.0. But is there anything missing from Spark whose absence isparticularly problematic for you? * Have you noticed any significant performance problems? Which components or scenarios? * Additionally, what else do you believe is missing from Flex 4.0?

You can participate either in person at the 360|Flex event in Indianapolis or remotely via Adobe Connect. We recently hosted the first Flex Bug Quash in Seattle and had quite the turn out with 180 participants, 2/3rds of which were remote. Prior to this event, in the 13 months that Flex has been open source, we had received 111 patches, in the Seattle Bug Quash alone we got another 57 patches from the community, bring us up 168 patches submitted. This event was a definite success and we hope to have an even better event in Indianapolis!

[flexcoders] Charting: Adding a horizontal line
I'd like to add a few horizontal lines to my area chart, a solid line to indicate where the average is (y=avg) and two dashed lines for +/-1 std devs away. is there a simple way to add a line to the chart indicating y = [some value] or rather do i need to need to programatically just draw the line?
