I'm starting this thread so people can list their "wish list" items for the
upcoming Apache Flex book. The other thread is specifically for discussion on
the status of the possible O'Reilly book.
This book may not be an O'Reilly book (we'll see), but I'll definitely be
writing an Apache Flex book
Thanks for your contributions Thiago. Let's table wish list items to a separate
thread.

Wish list, that I think it is important to those who want to start.
Just my opinion, things that took me long time to understand, that could
be very simple and quickly if I could found in one place.

Anyone know how to dynamically set the page title? I've seen various posts
using ExternalInterface, but haven't been able to get it working with variables
(hardcoded strings work fine though). Here's my latest attempt:

Thanks Justin.
One rule of thumb for time involved is 1-2 hours per page for authors -- that's
me -- and 5-10 minutes per page for tech editing -- that's you Justin. Which is
why, if a book goes past 400 pages, you need more than one author, unless you're

OK I'm in - but that shouldn't stop other people from wanting to help out as
well.
Thanks,
Justin
I'd like to be involved in any way possible.
I've just completed a small end to end business app for a client using flex
and although I admit that I have to dive deeper into Flex, contributing to
the book would facilitate a lot of learning on my part.

Hi,

You said you wanted an experienced tech editor - not really sure I qualify.
While I know Flex and Apache Flex well and have just finished writing a book
myself (so have some familiarity with the process) I've not been a tech editor

It might... I'll mention to O'Reilly that people in the community are willing to
pre-order if that helps the book go forward :)
I'll keep you posted.

Hi all,
The latest news on the Apache Flex book with O'Reilly is that I'm currently in
negotiations with them to have this book made, i.e. "Programming Apache Flex" as
a continuance of that same series. It's taking some convincing to be honest,
because the perception in the tech publishing industr

OK. Restart the computer to free up any stuck sockets.
If it still doesn't work, I would begin to wonder if there is a firewall
blocking the application's access to sockets. Here is a related article.
No idea if it applies to Mavericks.

Jake,
Let's start with debugging a web app. First, is this a brand new
workspace or did you copy one from the old machine? If it is old, create
a new workspace and create a test case project in it.
Next, using the browser that you've chosen for FB debug configs, go to
