Flex Explorers Round Up

From time to time I need a quick way to reference or gain better understanding of certain features available in Flex and fortunately there are some great tools to do this. Here’s a round up of several explorers that I’ve bookmarked over time:

Component Explorer

Style Explorer (Also available as a Fireworks CS3 Extension)

Style Explorer with Kuler Import

Transtions & Effects Explorer

Charting Explorer

Primitive Explorer

Filter Explorer

Resize Manager Explorer (for custom component)

Enhanced Button Skin Explorer (for custom component)

Reflection Manager/Explorer

Distortion Effects Explorer 

Kuler : Color Explorer? (Also accesible in Illustrator CS3 under Window > Adobe Labs > kuler)

    This just came back to me …. it is an example by James Ward but it could easily be termed the easingFunction explorer

    [...] decided to make the Filter Explorer an AIR application. I just thought that maybe with all the flex explorer examples out there they should all be AIR applications, just makes it that much easier to find and use. [...]
