Flex is a highly productive, free open source framework for building and maintaining expressive web applications that deploy consistently on all major browsers, desktops, and operating systems. While Flex applications can be built using only the free Flex SDK, developers can use Adobe® Flex® Builder™ 3 software to dramatically accelerate development. Try Flex Builder 3 free for 60 days. Try ILOG Elixir to enhance data display in your Flex applications.

A common hurdle a developer may face is dealing with exceptions in BlazeDS. When an exception is thrown in Java, how do we handle this in flex? Here is a simple and flexible approach inspired by Scott Morgan.
1. Create a Java Class that extends RuntimeException.
package com.flexpasta.exception;
public class FlexException extends RuntimeException
{
public FlexException(String message)
{
super(message);
}
}

A Flex application can consist of MXML files, ActionScript classes, SWF files, and SWC files.
The Flex compiler transforms the main MXML file and its children into a single ActionScript class linking in all the reference-imported classes. Once the transformation is complete, the end result is a single SWF file that can be deployed on the server.
Every time you make changes to your application, a new SWF file is generated. You may find it more convenient to remove the reusable components and compile those into SWC files, which can be included in a library path for your application.
