Sorry for the lack of SWFs on the last couple posts… I’m currently in a hotel in Chicago for Adobe MAX 2007/North America. I’ll generate and posts the SWFs when I get a bit more time later in the week.
Hope to see you all at MAX!

Hey peterd,
If you need help with Flex, I have an awsome example that needs attention. It is an open source Flex/AMFPHP/MySQL based task management system (like tada). I actually want to make a basecamp replaement in Flex and make it open source. I actually only published a version with project management and task management, but I am working on one that does projects, tasks, calendar and user management in the system. Tell me if your interested or at least the code will get you started.
