I was very excited about this at first until i downloaded the code and looked at the tutorial and realized it requires Adobe Flex to compile the project files. I was really hoping that I could simply open a FLA demo file and see how all the pieces work together. It was really a downer when i realized i needed to download the 450 MB Flex app and then i would have a 60-day trial version before it would expire or i had to purchase Flex. I may download the open-source Flex SDK but this Flare project is not for the faint of heart. Unless you already develop for Flex, this feels pretty daunting.
