Adobe Flex 4.5.1 – Mobile applications – passing data between views
Having now learned how to change views in a Flex mobile application thanks to my previous video found here, I will now show you how simple and quick it is to pass data between those views.
An important post from Andrew Shorten regarding where Flex is heading. I recommend anyone interested to read it, especially if you are even remotely interested in cross platform and device development.

Adobe Flex 4.5.1 – Mobile applications
In this video we will start looking at creating Adobe Flex based applications for the Apple iOS, Google Android and Blackberry tablet platforms.
This video covers creating a basic application, configuring the first run of the application and a brief overview of the interface changes in Flash Builder.
Adobe has released a much anticipated update for Flex and Flash Builder that allows developers to now visually design and code mobile applications not only for Google’s Android platform but also the ever popular Apple iOS and BlackBerry. This update is free for anyone who purchased version 4.5 standalone or Eclipse plugin and the version that comes with the recently released Creative Suite 5.5. Having spent a lot of time with this release I really feel that iOS development in particular has now opened up to the masses and perhaps most importantly to Windows users, I have been very surprised and impressed with the performance compared to Objective-C applications.
Remember as always there are plenty of tutorials to aid you in Flex and Flash development on www.uibuzz.com, just look to the left on the page. The list will be growing with mobile examples using this new release as time permits (clients work first as always)
