Adobe codename Thermo is new app Adobe is developing that will greatly increase the quality of how developers and designers co-exist in the web application lifecycle.

Imagine having one of your graphics people develop a perfect representation of your UI in Photoshop, import that directly into Thermo and have a working UI that looks exactly the same. Sounds too good to be true right? Wrong. Adobe has done it. I for one, am eagerly awaiting the beta release.

Flex 3 state bug

If you have used the new code generation abilities of Flex 3 than you possibly have run into this bug before.

SetEventHandler seems to be broken when switching states in Flex 3.

Steps to reproduce:

• Generate a CRUD application using the automated code generation
• Create a new state based on the state “Add” that is generated automatically
• Update the click event handler on the “Save” button of the new state to point to another method.
• Run the app, enter the new state, and click save.

Workaround:
Delete the “Save” button and create a new button with the appropriate method attached.

This bug isn’t limited to the automated code generation. I experienced it while creating the application from scratch as well.

The coolest thing I’ve seen in the Flex 3 beta so far, is the automated code generation.

I highly recommend any developer using Flex to check this new feature. Flex can now generate a CRUD (create/read/update/delete) application in a matter of minutes. Just setup your database structure, and run through the wizard. Flex Builder will generate the server side & UI code.
