Alexander Radsby - The Kingdom

I'm currently doing a couple of freelance projects during the summer and one of them includes working with Flex. I've done a lot of Actionscript 3 and feel confident enough to work with it so I've just started to learn Flex 3 (thank god for lynda.com). But I don't like the fact that I have to write the Actionscript code in the mxml file. There has to be a better way right?

Does anyone know some best practices for Flex 3?

I've felt for a while now that I've lost my roots a little bit. I'm am a designer not a programmer.

So I've also decided that I'm getting back into Adobe Flash, most developers that is used to Web Standards and Semantic coding probably hate Flash and everything that comes with it. But I'm not like that. Flash is a tool, that serves it's purpose when it needs to.

So I ask you, do you know any good actionscript editors for Mac? and do you have any books that you can recommend on Actionscript 3.0?

I figured that if I'm going to start doing flash again I might aswell try to use Actionscript 3.0. It looks a bit weird but the performance that comes with it is great. I haven't read much about it though...

Can't wait to do some nice looking flash sites. Growing kinda tired of my own portfolio site. It needs a make over!
