I am looking for a Flex4 calendar with source code.
Ready to pay for it also.
I do not want to use the IBM ilog calendar, that i was using before for my website.
Any suggestions.
Thanks

Check out our Flex Calendar Component. Free developer editions are available for you to test. The component supports Flex 3 and up; and we provide a version specifically for Flex 4.
Really it depends what you're looking for though.
I think ours is the most flexible implementation out there; with everything visual, such as the day components, implemented as renderers, thus giving you complete control over display and functionality.
However, our component is not going to be a replacement for "Google Calendar" as is.
We're always an e-mail away for support purposes.
In addition to Flextras, there's also one in IBM's iLog Elixir. I believe it's much more expensive. Examples of Elixir and Flextras are in Tour De Flex I believe.
Have you checked this one? http://www.keepcore.com/composants-flex/flex-calendar-component.html
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.

I'm a pretty experienced Flex/.NET developer who is now learning html5/javascript. I've been playing with Ext Core and ExtJS for the last few weeks and I'm interested in whether/how folks are using these libraries to do bi-directional data binding on data that is not list based.
It seems like most of the binding support is directed at binding rows of data to grids. I'm interested in binding UI elements to arbitrary POJOs that are not list-based data.
Maybe I'm just not looking in the right places, but I'm not finding support for this.
I'm really interested in hearing what folks are doing in Ext OR what folks recommend as an alternative.
Although there is no out-of-the-box solution like the #Bindable from Flex for example, Extjs does offer the infrastructure to create bindings.
If you have a look at http://blog.dnet-ebusiness-suite.com/2012/03/data-binding-in-extjs-4-grid-form.html you'll see a demo for this where the models (filter instance and record instance, instances of Ext.data.Model managed or NOT managed by a store) are bound to different views. The functionality is achieved with a thin framework built on top of Extjs.
On the other hand, to bind arbitrary POJOs is exactly the same story, those have to implement an Observable and fire themselves some property change events which can be listened. The blog posts and the framework itself gives a good starting point on how to do this.
Another way/concept is http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthread.php?60809-Ext.ux.data.BindMgr-Databind-Manager which i used with extjs 3 and works fine.
A follow up... I never did find an ExtJS approach and moved on to other js frameworks/approaches and along the way learned about knockout: http://knockoutjs.com/ which is pretty darned awesome!
Are you looking for the BasicForm functionality? (Particularly: loadRecord)
If you want readonly display you can use DisplayFields or disabled TextFields or similar.
Take a look at jQXB , http://www.jqxb.altervista.com. It's seems to provides a very easy and powerfull api to bind data with html elems
Is there any opensourse, free set of components for creating Flex mxml graphs?
like aviary Peacock style ones
(source: peacockwiki at sites.google.com)
with at least Drag, drop, and connect generators
so each graph element could have
(source: peacockwiki at sites.google.com)
or something like that.
Framework should be opensource (like GPL, LGPL etc)
BTW: I found one wary bacic made by Erno Aapa with Degrafa but I would really love to see something much more Flex 4 - mxml oriented and frienfdly.
So blog articles, Google code projects, anything - please help
I don't have a specific answer for you; but just some places to go look.
Have you looked at the Advanced Charting and Visualization package from Adobe? They are part of the open source SDK with the release of Flex 4.
You already mentioned Degra. I understood that Degrafa stands for Declarative Graphics. I'm surprised you'd say it is not MXML friendly.
Have you looked at Axiss? It is another project out there, and I believe it relies heavily on Degrafa.
You said open source, but didn't say free. So, I believe source code is available if you purchase a license to iLog. I'm not sure about FusionCharts, but I've heard very positive things about it from other Flex Developers.
Moccasin and Flex Wires combined should get you most of the way there.
I would like to know about the LCDS. What it does? How to configure it? Do I need to know Java?
Can I get some sort of tutorial pdf for it?
I am a new flex developer.I would like
to know about the LCDS. What it does?
One of the major feature of LCDS is it provides a server side push implementation to your flex app.
How to configure it? Would not know, since it does not work in sync with c# have not explored it as much as I would have liked.
Do I need to know Java?
Yes, unfortunately Java is the major player in supported language, else I would be all over it.
Adobe® LiveCycle Data Services ES is a powerful solution for creating data-intensive rich Internet applications (RIAs) that integrate with J2EE applications and business logic.
That is from the adobe site: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=lcds26_td
Can I get some sort of tutorial pdf
for it?
Best way is to go through the tutorials on the adobe web pages. If you are using hibernate here is an extra example. http://blog.comtaste.com/2007/07/livecycle_data_services_and_hi.html and http://iamjosh.wordpress.com/2007/11/08/building-a-livecycle-data-service-application/

and welcome to the great world of Flex. One thing is for sure - your going to enjoy it.
It is always good to satrt with the official site: http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/dataservices/
if you want to see what can be done with Flex in general and with LCDS, install Tour-de-flex: http://gregsramblings.com/2008/12/12/livecycle-data-services-and-tour-de-flex/
This Blog was a good start point to new guys where I work. The most important suggestions he made was to:
1. Get to know google
2. Check out this lynda course.
Last but not least, AdobeTV have great videos to watch! see: AdobeTV Data services search page
By the way, AdobeTV itself is fully build with Flex.
Be sure what LCDS can do for you with respect to Coldfusion and Flex/AIR.
There is likely something there that will save you a great deal of time, money and coding.
