Item Renderers and Item Editors Presentation

Hi,
It was exciting to talk about item renderers and item editors to a packed room at 360|Flex on Monday morning! I will be posting the recording on this blog as soon as it is available. Every attendee should also have a copy of the presentation on their 360|Flex USB removable hard drive they received. I included a Flex Builder 2.0.1 version of the code for those users who are still using it.

Thanks everyone for coming to my presentation and for attending 360|Flex!!

· 360|Flex on the Switchboard, we'll connect you! - read and 360Flex Speakers make their own standards - read more

360|Flex speakers (like myself) are known for creating new products, frameworks and even standards. Switchboard is a way for you to code your own AIR apps to talk directly to CS3 applications. While Sam Rivello has gone off and created his own coding standards. We 360|Flex speakers are never complacent.
