Creating an XML application using Flex Builder

So far in this series of articles, we've spent a lot of time looking at the different things you can do with Flex 2. We've looked at some of the built-in components you can use to create Flex applications. We've also created custom components and ActionScript classes.

In the next three articles, I want to take you through a case study where you can put together what you've learned so far to create a complete Flex application. We'll use an external XML document to power the application which will show us real estate listings. We'll see a summary of all listings and we'll be able to click to find out more about each listing. The case study will give you good insight into how you might approach building a complete application.
