In this episode of the Flex in a Week training series, you will learn how to create ActionScript classes without any MXML code. You will also learn how to import and instantiate these classes in your MXML application code and how to create an ActionScript method that manipulates class properties and can be called from MXML.

In this episode of the training series, you will learn how a class can be implemented as a value object to type data. You will also learn how to turn a collection of generic objects into a typed data model.

In this episode of the training series, you will learn how to have Flash Builder generate a value object class for you.

Discover visual and conceptual models that can help you understand programming generally and ActionScript specifically. Everything shown will be supplemented with related code samples. You'll walk away with clear (and, possibly, new and unique) ways to think about properties, methods, data types, classes, and object oriented programming. Additional topics may include variables, loops, arrays, and value objects. All are welcome, but ActionScript experience is recommended.

Evangelist Duane Nickull demonstrates how to build a Flex 4 application to integrate a LiveCycle Data Services Java (tm) App Server using Model Driven Development.

One of the most interesting new features in Flex 4 is that developers can easily create custom layouts for data components. Join Flex SDK Engineer, Evtim Georgiev, to learn more about this new layout model, show how to create a custom layout in Flex 4 and show the APIs that allow developers to work with elements, handle scrolling and navigation, and creating virtualized layouts.

Leveraging web services seems easy, but what happens as your data model increases in complexity? Kevin Hoyt examines this problem and proposes a solution for data management.

A large data set can challenge the success of an application. Kevin Hoyt demonstrates how to improve data model performance with implicit paging, and how to maintain a rich UI with the scroll bar.

To help you navigate through the model-driven development using Fiber in Flash Builder 4 and LiveCycle Data Services 3, we have put together a detailed orders demo that uses most of the capabilities in Fiber.

Localization, validation, data formats are very common to web applications. Fiber simplifies these tasks by letting you define and control these behavior right from your model using styles. This video walks you through the power of styles with some very simple examples.

In this episode, you'll get a quick overview of Fiber and its role in supporting model-driven development in LiveCycle Data Services 3 and Flash Builder 4.

See how the brand new model-driven development feature of LiveCycle Data Services ES allows you to build and maintain data-driven Flex applications with an unprecedented level of productivity and flexibility.

Join Jeff Vroom to see how you can use LiveCycle Data Services to allow Flex clients to manipulate complex domain models implemented using Java Persistence Architecture.
