I'm guessing several people will YELL AT ME for posting this.including Jeffry Houser (please forgive the OT post), but there is a Apache Flex related Kick Starter project, which I have backed, I think deserves some consideration from everyone on the list.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/reboog711/help-me-build-an-autocomplete- for-apache-flex?ref=live Please consider backing the project for the obvious reason (it would be a nice addition to Flex), plus it would be nice to have an additional avenue for folks like myself (not able, from a proficiency stand point, to donate code) to be able to contribute to moving Apache Flex forward. This might be one way of monetizing Flex component development in a post Adobe world. It would be nice if this first attempt were successful. Mark
