LinkBar in Flex… man

Posted by | Posted in Actionscript 3.0, Flex | Posted on 23-11-2008

Just a note, but use mouseOver NOT rollOver.  I was trying to detect which element was being rolled...

If you haven't seen this yet, it's right along the lines of the other explorers and gives you a Regular Expression explorer.  Nice work dude. CHECK IT OUT

That's it, pretty sweet.
