One of the cool features that Adobe AIR provides is the ability to drag & drop from the desktop to your AIR application and from your AIR application to the desktop. You can also drag and drop between application windows. Next Tuesday I'll show you how it's done. Here are some of the things I'll cover:

• Dragging an image file from the desktop into an AIR app and displaying the image
• Dragging an image from the AIR app to the desktop
• Drag & drop a file into an AIR app and display it's contents

Hello guys,

first off I want to thank everyone in the Los Angeles Flex community for making LAFlex such a blast to run. As many of you may know from my announcement at the last meeting, I am going to be a dad in June. Yay!. And with all the work of managing our syndicated tech jobs service, which is starting to take off, working on some huge SearchCoders Flex RIA consulting projects, and starting a family I had to cut back on something, and LAFlex was it.
