Quicklook

The Quicklook sample application demonstrates how to build a calendar application in Flex using the new iLog component. Quicklook leverages the relational database system (SQLite) embedded in the AIR runtime to store the calendar data locally.

The application could easily be extended to synchronize the data with a central database to provide a traditional multiuser calendar application with online and offline access. Note: You'll have to add the iLog SWC to your build path, so be sure to download iLog Elixir Beta 2.
