Thanks Alex! It would be great if other Apache Flex folks show up there as well.

Advantages of using ActionScript3 to build your applications - Full fledged object oriented inheritance model (not just prototype based) - Statically type code, dynamic optional. So best of both worlds. - Packages, classes, interfaces - Use standard design patterns easily - Easy to maintain - Friendly for projects with medium to large teams 2. Use MXML to efficiently build your interface - Like HTML, MXML is XML markup language - Declaratively lay out your interface (components, skins, layout, effects, etc.) - Declaratively define nonvisual aspects of the application (data binding, webservices, etc.) - Unlike HTML, you can extend MXML with custom components that you reference as MXML tags Anything else you would like to add? BTW, where can I get the latest copy of your presentation slides?
