At Your Majesty, I just launched a small (2.5kloc outside libraries, 2 weeks dev/qa time) site using Flex 3: the Axe Vice Naughty to Nice sweepstakes site. I chose Flex for this project because of the exceedingly short dev cycle, and because it contained forms and validation I could take out-of-the-box. However, like any project, I ran into a fair share of problems from annoying to outrageously aggravating, and I feel like it always helps to document what I learned, not just for everyone else but for my future self. You'd be surprised how often I have to open up chapters I wrote myself for the AS3 Bible or Introduction to Flex 2 and refresh my "memory," if you can even call my rattling collection of underused neurons such a thing. Read on for tons of tips, tricks, techniques, and tilapia.
