Yikes. After going thru some Lynda.com Flex training, then checking out my old Flex code, I'm embarrassed.
It was like seeing an old pic of me in parachute pants or something.

Loosely coupled = good. That old crap I did = yikes.

It's a learning process. Anyhoo, I'm doing a personal website in Flex, using the stuff I learned.

I'm gonna start posting some of the code here soon.

Custom events make sense to me now, btw. Yay.
