Title
Flex/Flash/AIR mythbusters
Content
I am thinking of doing a presentation/demo/blog post/contest (some or combination of all) along the lines of doing a "mythbusters style" top ten list of Flex/Flash/AIR myths and then attempting to prove or disprove them. First off, of course is to get a top ten list of "myths" to bust.
To illustrate what I have in mind, I have 3 candidates so far:
1. You can't set focus to a flex app on startup. (can you or can't you?)
2. Databinding causes memory leaks.
3. AIR apps need to use crossdomain.xml files to access resources from another domain.
I'd like to start compiling a list until I have 10 good ones, and then tackle them.
If anyone has anything along those lines to suggest for my list please let me know.
If I seem to have difficulty compiling the list, I will probably blog about it and form some sort of contest to help finish off the list and to possibly enlist help in busting the myths.

I know how to set focus to a field within Flex, but not upon refresh of the flash player.</p> <p>I pity the fool who proves this wrong! (you had to be at our last meeting)</p> |
