I know AS3, I want to learn Flex, where do I start?

Question

Apache Flex

Hey!

I have been working in Adobe Flash Pro for a long time, I write on AS3, I almost never use the "visual" flash in development, so I think it's time to switch to Flex. I downloaded the Flash Builder trial, but I look at it like a sheep on a new gate. Is there somewhere a very basic tutorial for beginners or for those "transitioning" from AS3. My “target” is not very complex mobile applications.

Thank you!

Answer 1

For beginners, flash.demiart.ru is a good resource, because there are many chewed lessons in Russian. Search for the Flex tag. This is really for beginners. Good luck in your endeavors.

Answer 2

I myself started learning flex from the documentation from adobe. Probably no one writes better than them.
Recently, there has been a lot of reference information on flex in Russian.

Answer 4

To start writing in Flex, you need to install Adobe Flash Builder, create a Flex project, add the <s:Button text="Hello, world!" button to the resulting application. /> and start reading the official reference from Adobe, make some examples, understand MXML.
Because Flex is just a framework for flash.*, then knowing AS3 is much more valuable here.
