Newbie Convert Getting Started

[admedia]

Hi Everyone,

So I am getting started with Flex 3 and am quite exited... I have read some articles and have done the pre-requisite tutorials etc...

I would like to put this awesome tool to good use now. I have a project that I have been developing inside of flash that has been developed 'old-school' by today's standards. To summarize it loads an XML file then uses attachMovie to generate a menu system... that utilizes a bunch of functions...

I would like to convert this into a Flex 3 environment to continue development but I am not sure where to start...

Specifically....
I have a movieclip symbol in my menu.fla library that represents a menu item... how should I go about converting this symbol into a flex component or something stand alone that I can manipulate via Flex?

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks!

You can pull data into a Flex canvas via arrayCollection. It makes quick work for that kind of stuff.
