Read the complete session
In the previous three workshop sessions, you learned how to code simple graphics manually and build small examples using Spark components. In this workshop session, we’ll take a gigantic leap toward reality and build a real application: an Only Connect game. (We’re going to call it Only Connect, since typically game names are trademarked.) You’ll learn how the full workflow—from design to working Flex application—functions.
