is it possible to create a pre-loader using plainly Flex 4? I've seen tutorials on how to make one but each of them requires that I have Flash Professional or Flash Catalyst.
I have absolutely no experience when it comes to implementing pre-loaders as well as making one. So please try to elaborate a little more.
Thanks!

Hope that helps.

I am interested in building a custom browser in javafx 8 using the WebView component as a personal project. One of the features I hope to include is the ability to play flash video / sound. I'm not sure where to start so I'm hoping someone here could give me a few pointers as to how I'd go about accomplishing this.
Also, if you're aware of any resources out there that might come in handy when it comes to adding additional functionality I'd appreciate it. I'm hoping to make this fairly full featured.
Thanks in advance!
I'd stop this project because WebView does not support flash videos.

It looks like I found a component that meets my requirements. JxBrowser.

Where can I find a free but good-quality and customizable carousel component for Flex 4?
Loook at that.

Tour de Flex is full of good libraries.

Recently I came upon this nice clean carousel component written specifically for Flex 4, and it's free:

FTQuest
The most popular one was built by Doug McCune. It is not built natively in Spark, but source code is available and you can recompile it for Flex 4.
I thought it was part of Flexlib, but since I don't see it listed look here.
I know you are asking specifically for free, but a great resource for components (including quite a few carousels) along with source code can be found at http://activeden.net/ for darn near free (a few dollars). Hope that helps.
I'm interested in integrating CKEditor into my Flex 3 application so that users can generate full HTML documents. After some quick googling, I am interested in using CKEditor, but I can't find any home-run success stories on using it with Flex 3. For example, I found:
http://blog.aboutme.be/2009/10/25/ckeditor-running-in-flex-and-air/
and a couple of similar blogs. Based on posted comments, however, it looks like there either may be integration issues, cross-browser issues, or similar gotchas.
I'd like some advice on scoping this effort and potential pitfalls, and any pointers to useful snippets, tutorials or blogs on similar efforts. I am also open to better HTML editors for flex -- I just haven't found any.
I was able to get mine working (with Bob Tate's help setting everything up) without having to use Drumbeat Insight's control. if you need some help or pointers, email me directly with CKEditor in the subject line. jeremysl#hotmail.com
You can't really integrate a non-Flex component into a Flex application.
Your best bet is to look into using the iFrame trick to make it appear as if CFEditor is part of your Flex application. Google around for iFrame trick to find more info on it.
There is an HTML Component from Drumbeat Insight that helps solve a lot of the issues w/ this trick.
Why By default Flex does not come up with Deeplinking. we need to write separate code to achieve this. Could anyone please come up with a Simple example with brief description. Any hepl would be highly appreciated.
Flex can support Deeplinking by using BrowserManager. Take a look at:

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:

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.

The beta for Cairngorm 3 is out and you can find whatever info there currently is at
