FLEX - Load an image of type class instance
I have a barCode class that is used to generate an image of a barCode. I create an instance of this class and it works as expected for example: var myBarCodeInstance:barCode = new barCode(); var myBarCodeImg:Image = new Image(); myBarCodeImg.source = myBarCodeInstance; Using this code the image appears and works fine.

Is it possible to create skinnable components in MXML using the Spark component architecture?
There are lots of examples of how to create skinnable components in AS3 using the new Spark component architecture, however I've yet to find any such examples using MXML.

Styling both foreground and background selection color in a Flex list/datagrid
Flex exposes a "selectionColor" CSS property for styling the background color of a selected list/datagrid. However, I cannot figure out how to style the foreground or text color of selected list.

Flash vs. Flex vs. Actionscript for data visualization
I'm trying to learn how to build interactive data visualizations, and I think I want to go the Flash/Flex/ActionScript route instead of using Processing. The problem is, I've never understood what the difference between all three is, so I don't know which one I should be learning. It sounds like Flash is more for designers/non-programm...
