Here is a quick example of how to sort an ArrayCollection using a TextInput. This could be used in many different ways but I chose to use a datagrid example. I would like to know another technique if someone has a good one to share.
So I had a free night and I got a couple requests to update the shareMe Plugin. In the admin you can now decide which share icons you want displayed at the end of the post. I threw it together pretty quickly so let me know if you experience any problems or if you want any icons added. The next update will hopefully include a way to order the icons. If you have the new features of Mango 1.3 simple copy and paste the link into your admin and it will auto-update the previous version for you ;).

It is really easy to implement glow effects to your flex. I am not a huge effect guy but these little guys are pretty cool in my mind and so easy to do. Here is a basic example of how to bind the glow effect and also to fire a glow on an event. Let me know if you have any tips for the glow effects.
PS. That is myself with the old man (not my hat!) :)

If you have ever tried to return struct to Flex 3 from ColdFusion you may have run into this problem. If you use dot (.) notation to define your struct variable, the variable will get passed in UPPER CASE. This causes problems because Flex 3 and actionscript are case sensitive. Not knowing this little fact may cause you to bang your head on some walls.
You can use the arraySum, arrayMin, arrayAvg, arrayMax functions to quickly do calculations in an output query without using sql. Wish I knew of this tag along time ago. It would have eliminated some extras queries I have created.
