Flex 3 Cheatsheet, MXML controls - Page 1 Draft

Flex 3 MXML CheatsheetHere is a draft version for the Flex 3 Cheatsheets. A number of MXML controls are detailed on this draft. For the first few Flex 3 Cheatsheets I am thinking about following this format for the rest of the commonly used MXML controls and containers. The properties, events and styles are taken directly from the Flex 3 Language reference for now. This is a change from the previous cheatsheets. Does this information help, or is the old format better? Constructive feedback appreciated.

  1. I like it so far.

    Do you have an url to access the previous cheatsheets? I never seen em.

    Thanks,

  2. Good job Sean. Well done

  3. Thanks a lot, I have something similar for my IntelliJ (Java) IDE. I am new to Flex; I have just landed from the Java World (I work mostly with the “much feared” Swing-UI layer) and so far I am very impressed with Flex, Flash, and ActionScript 3.0 (AIR is also on my agenda).

    I avoided Web development, which I thought (and still think) was an awful hack (JSP, Servlet, Struts, Ajax, etc.) until I found your “World”.

    Can you please provide a (gently) colored version?

    The Flex Builder IDE tries to reduce the need for cheat sheets by showing the list of possible properties for an known element.

    What I want is something that eliminates the need to dig through help of a web search: list some common color codes; show me how various alignments interact; give me reminders for all the little “oh yeah, that’s how it works” rules.

    Cheers
