Chapter 22. Building a Flex Application

Throughout this book, you’ve learned about all the pieces comprising Flex. But you haven’t seen how these pieces come together to create a working application. An academic knowledge of Flex is essential to successfully building Flex applications, but that knowledge is of little value unless you also have a concrete understanding of how to use what you’ve learned in practice. In this chapter, we’ll look at how to build a Flex application using everything you learned in the first 21 chapters of the book. We’ll walk through building a sample application to illustrate important concepts, and to give you practical experience building a Flex application.
