Viewing by month: July 2009

Flash Camp Atlanta is coming up next month.  Not only are the tickets to the all day event (9am-5pm) only 39.95 but flights and hotels are relativly cheap right now.

I think the gut reaction is that Atlanta is a long ways for a 1 day event, but the pricing overall is pretty reasonable for a wide audience.  I will be flying down from NY on Thursday night and leaving Saturday morning, my flight total was only a $175.

The theme for this go-around is "Enabling The Convergence of Art & Design With The Flash Platform". I know I for one am looking forward to being in the room with some great minds and learning a few things about "the science and art of the user experience". I know Andrew Powell / Universal Mind and others are working hard to put on another great event that won't dissapoint.

BUY TICKETS

The Speakers Lineup right now includes:

  • Greg Wilson, Adobe - Keynote
  • David Tucker, Universal Mind
  • Jesse Warden - Custom Components in Flex 3 & 4
  • Carl Smith, nGenWorks
  • Leif Wells, Roundbox Global
  • Doug Knudsen, Universal Mind
  • Ben Stucki
  • Christian Saylor, Universal Mind

 

Hopefully I'll get to see a few of you there so don't be shy!

I needed to display to the users a List component with checkboxes;

  • I needed to do this to remove the need for CTRL & CTRL+Shift commands that might have been 'above' the technical level of my users.
  • I needed the visual effect they provided.
  • I wanted the items to be highlighted and apear mostly as they do in a standard list.
  • And lastly I wanted to be able to access what was choosen by the [myList.selectedItems] and not a custom holder.

I'm sure there are a few ways to make this happen, so I welcome any alternative advice. "View Source" is enabled on this flex app.
