I have always found those kind of forum responses quite useless... When someone doesn't know about something, he/she also doesn't know what to look for or where to find exactly the contents that may make they pass their learning curve. So let's take some tolerance with newbies and try to guide them instead of being so overbearing. Maybe not talking the same things again and again, but giving them direct links to begin with or so. 2013/8/14 dude <d...@atheist.com> > > Because I am new in flex, once I search some questions in google, I > > will find most of them links will refer to the adobe site. > > How can you not check Wikipedia first if there is an article about > Adobe or Apache Flex at all?
