    Flex for RIAs

    I have been working with Flex for about two months now and I find it to be fairly easy to learn. If you are a student you should defiantly look into it because it's free. Of course the SDK's for any Adobe software are always free and there are plenty of useful tools on the Adobe website to help you get up and running. Also with the increasing demand for good RIA's there is a lot of opportunity out there for Flex developers and with the advent of sites like youtube flash is currently installed on 99% of computers in the U.S. and close to that number world wide. Also with the new version of Flex 4 (code named gumbo) lurking on the horizon, will be more of an MXML based program. A good place to start learning about Flex is the Flex Development Center. Check out the videos from the Adobe MAX Convention on the same page.
  2. Anyone out there use Flex from Adobe? FYI it is free for students and faculty members. Check it out at the Adobe Developer Center for Flex
  3. @aussie11 if you have fireworks cs-4 there is a tool called punch paths which would do exactly what you want. The other way you could accomplish this would be to create a document (make sure it is set to transparent.) the width of your page and then add the hight of the header and footer to get your overall height. Use the bitmap rectangle tool and cover your page. Then use the ellipse tool and create your oval in the center of the doc. Choose your fill colors accordingly or if you don't want a color, make your selection and enter delete. Next Make a copy of your shape and put it on separate layers. Use the diagonal selection tool to select your banner, keeping one of the layers invisible, (if your version of fireworks doesn't have this capability then you will have to make two separate files.) For you banner select the area where your footer would be and enter delete. Go to transform and select rotate 180%. Repeat for your footer. I hope this helps, Bobby.
