Flex Calendar – the most popular search string

12, Oct 2006

Over the past few months, “flex calendar” has been the most popular search string that results in hits on Flex Daddy. A while back, when I was working for Achilles Foundation, we played with the idea of creating a custom calendar in Flex 1.5. Read more here. We soon gave up on the idea due [...]

Sizing apps within the Loader control
