Welcome to crucible!

Welcome to the crucible, a place to amalgamate ideas, code, techniques and approaches to what we have in common: creating the best RIAs and experiences on the web and desktop using the superb Adobe technologies that are available to us. This wiki is not affiliated with Adobe in any way, execept for the fondness in our hearts.

If you create a page & would like it to appear in the sitemap, at the bottom of the page you create you'll see a link to options. Click that and then choose the link "parent". Type in "start" and you're done.

Visitors: TO MAKE CHANGES, look at the bottom of each page, there is an edit link. Use that to edit. On the left side there is a text input field. Name the page and click Add Page. Then to have it show up in the Sitemap, click Options, parent and use "start" without the quotes.

AXNA and Fullasagoog are here just so you don't feel quite so lonely & also get recent RSS updates while you're here. AXNA seems to go down or break quite a bit though. If that keeps up, I'll have to axe it.

This wiki will only become worthwhile if people like you take the time to contribute to it. I surely plan on adding some material & I hope that you do too.

This ActionScript 3/Flex/AIR wiki was created with a few things in mind:

• Establish another community-centric resource for aspiring/established developers.
• Play with wikis - they seem to be pretty cool and allow easy participation.
• Encourage learning and ego-stroking which benefits all of us.

Don't be a moron, okay? As long as the wiki is treated in a nice fashion, it will exist.
