Tell you what I just showed you.


What is Reflex?I don’t get it. It’s like Flex, but it’s not?


Reflex AS3 ComponentsButtons, Labels, Sliders, Lists, Containers, etc. without Flex.


What’s All The Hype?Containers, Layouts, Invalidation, Binding, and... MXML!


Yes, MXML without Flex!This is how we do it.


What makes Reflex different?Alright, I admit that’s cool - but aren’t you just building Flex again?
