Sometimes I hate Flex… Sometimes

Don’t get it wrong… I am not leaving Flex, most of my current developments still rely on it and I am sure it will last for several more years.

Working with Flex for nearly two years. I am sure I have the right choice however sometimes Flex do makes me mad.

• SWFLoader content can’t be unloaded completely.
  (How many times you try to replace a loader content but you notice the content music never gone away)
• VideoDisplay component doesn’t play .flv correctly…
• Not even those produced by Flash Video Encoder…
• Non standard CSS
• Math.floor (Math.random () * 4) + 6
  (Oh my god… I just want a random integer)
• Smooth scroll List
• Disabling Ctrl key during drag move
• Gradient fill Container
• Full screen Keyboard input…
  (I understand security… but that should be user’s responsibility… not developer’s obstacle)

Flex Builder related…

• Why can’t I export my syntax coloring settings?
• I don’t know which part I haven’t done yet… WHERE’S MY TODO!?!?
• Auto building get set function please…

To be continue…
