FlexBox is a directory of components scattered around the Internet in blogs, discussion lists and various websites.  If you have yet to visit flexbox, I suggest you do so and bookmark it.  I have added it to the Resources page within this blog as well.  Thanks to Mrinal Wadhwa for putting together such a great resource.

Ben Forta’s Flexifier is an online application that allows users to enter flex code, compile it, and run it in real time.  It is a simple way to demonstrate Flex code in action without downloading anything.  Just type your Flex code in the text box and run it.  Give it a try at http://try.flex.org/

I have been lucky enough to have had the chance to use Flex Builder on my Mac for the last few weeks and the performance has been outstanding.  It has now been oficially posted on the Adobe labs site for download.  If you are a Mac user, go get it.

FlashTracer FireFox Plugin

October 9, 2006

FlashTracer is a new plugin for FireFox that displays trace statements in a browser panel for any swf file.   You can also set it to log the trace statements to a file. This is way cool and I will be using it a ton.  Get it here.
