Flex - Some good source for practical examples

Since I need to start working on flex within a week for my firm, I started learning flex.
I did watch some of the starting videos from Adobe (here).
But, I found those videos too slow for my learning process and they don't seem to provide with much practical application programs to try out with.
Though, I will continue with those videos over the week, can anyone suggest some good website/online resource that could provide me with some practical examples, that would easy to work out on Flex Builder. It would also ease my learning process.
Thanks.
Try Flex 3 Essential Training. It will give you pretty good overview of Flex in a few hours.
There was a topic which possible contains useful links.
Tour De Flex - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/tourdeflex.html Is a walkthrough of all the basic API's, simple examples that will get you up and started. It's an AIR app, just click the INSTALL button and it wil be installed on your machine.

Any pointers to good AS3 code snippets/samples?

I am newbie in AS3 and learning day by day. I am looking for good AS3 code snippets/samples/small projects which I can use for learning purpose and for reference (with no dependency on Flash IDE because I use Flex SDK and Flash Develop). Also, I am specifically looking for tutorials/articles about Audio/Video streaming, creating own audio/video player, playing audio/video files and working with other media (such as images) and creating special effects. If there's any good websites(other than adobe.com) would be really really really thankful.
Thanks in Advance.
Adobe.com stinks for most documentation (Flex in a Week isn't bad). Here are a few flex/actionscript websites I use or have used:
http://actionscript.org/ Has a lot of ActionScript tutorials.
http://www.flexafterdark.com/ - some good tips and tricks.
http://active.tutsplus.com/ has some good information.
http://www.lynda.com (subscription based) has very good videos that can help you get started.
I would also highly recommend a few books. Flex 3 Bible/Flex 4 Bible/ActionScript 3.0 Bible
Google and Flex in a Week.
I recommend you to take a look at Flex Examples blog. It contains really great and really simple samples to learn.
Senocular is a great when it comes to explaining AS3. Check out his site below:
http://www.senocular.com
In particular his tutorial on AS3 is fantastic - it goes through everything new or challenging about AS3 like display lists and event listeners. It was the perfect primer for me when I stepped across to AS3.
http://www.senocular.com/flash/tutorials/as3withflashcs3/
Sencular is really popular on the http://www.kirupa.com forums (another good set of tutorials are there) plus I believe he works for Adobe now.
Otherwise checkout Grant Skinners work, recently he has been doing a lot JavaScript stuff, but do a search of actionscript and you will find a lot of stuff, especially around memory management.

Cairngorm quickstart

Searching the site didn't help, so if anybody has good tips for getting up to speed with Cairngorm?!
I have to make an ultra quickstart on this framework, since I have to dive into an existing project ASAP.
Any help is much appreciated!
This guys created a Flex application to help explain the work flow:
http://robsondesign.com/blog/index.php/2009/02/18/cairngorm-diagram-explorer-update/
I found this 5 part tutorial at www.davidtucker.net to be very practical and hands on. David moves fast but also gives solid descriptions for almost everything he does. The tutorial includes both blog posts and video code-alongs. I recommend doing both. The download files get a little messed up (renaming, Adobe AIR, Flex Web app), so I had to follow the code-alongs and use the downloaded source only for reference (I opened in a separate editor and copy and pasted as needed).
you don't mention which version of Cairngorm, but this is a good place to start if you are using version 2.1 or earlier.
cairngorm docs
The beta for Cairngorm 3 is out and you can find whatever info there currently is at

Here is a simple animated short about Cairngorm
Then you need to understand the MVC architectural pattern

Then go ahead to these Cairngorm related links/videos:

Then start coding:

There's a book from Wrox on Amazon that really helped me Professional Cairngorm

Where to get Flash/Flex coding examples, a timeline example in particular?

I'm in the process of learning Flex, but I learn best by example. Where can I find open source examples of Flex applets? In particular, I'm trying to reproduce the functionality of the JavaScript based Simile timeline, so a timeline example would be sweet.
You must check out Tour de Flex. There are >300 examples maintained by Adobe running in the AIR app.
There is a specific category called "data visualization".

Adobe AIR/FLEX programming tutorial

I just read a good tutorial at http://cateof.wordpress.com/2009/09/27/helloworld-air-application-in-linux/ about creating simple apps with AIR/FLEX. What are some similar pages and/or good books that I can read to move from "beginner" to "novice"?
Bruce Eckel and I have written "First Steps in Flex" which is a short getting started book. We have also begun creating screencasts for each chapter which you can find on the book's website. Also make sure you check out Tour de Flex which is a great way to learn through small examples.
