Hi, The Flex Dev Center - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/ - contains a Getting Started tab that links to the Getting Started Guide, an online site with overviews and examples, and also links to around 40 small quick start examples showing how to perform common Flex tasks. Stephen

In the past, I would try to get Flash to do everything that Flex can do now, with less work and effort. Anyway, I am using self-paced methods to learn Flex CS3 and be able to use it in my work with my clients/customers. I have the text: "Flex Builder CS3 Training from the Source," which is a great text. I also use the training videos on Lynda.com for learning Flex. I'd like to see if there are some quick start texts or information on the web that someone knows about. While it won't replace learning and putting time into doing a lot of Flex Development, there are some tools and applications that I see that could be put into place on some of my sites and etc. Both training tools that I have, present a single project that is developed over the course of the training. This is good, except when you just need a few Flex components, menus, etc, etc. If I wasn't looking to have the entire site done entirely in Flex but wanted to use some Flex tools/components/applications, things would be different than if I were creating an entire web application within Flex, with XML or a database. The training I mentioned does not get into deploying the content and the Flex Designs until one is far into the text or training. I won't always need that much knowledge each time I create something using Flex CS3. So, if anyone could recommend additional training material, online or texts, please let me know, Thanks, Bruce
