Video: Flex Effects and Skinning
Monday, 18 August 2008
Intuit has been using Flex in some very exciting ways recently. One of those is to use Flex as a developer SDK for QuickBase. This allows developers to easily build a great user interface on top of the solid and in-the-cloud back-end of QuickBase. You can find out more about this in the QuickBase Developer Program.
A few weeks ago I presented to developers in the QuickBase Developer Program about making Flex applications look and feel great by adding effects and by skinning components. Intuit has allowed me to repost that presentation here. Let me know what you think.

Hi Raul,
Apparently this is a bug in FP 10 RC. Engineering is aware of the issue and is working on it. In the mean time you will need to use FP 9 to view this. Sorry.

Thanks for posting this! I had to drop out early and missed the last 10 minutes. I’ll be checking out the Flex Interface Guide next :)

Hi Dinesh,
Unfortunately I accidentally deleted the original recording for this one. Are you getting an error message? The only place I had issues was with Flash Player 10 RC on Linux.
Sorry for the trouble. I’m hoping to move my videos somewhere else soon.
