Hello World ! My first FLEX2 Application.

Adobe Flex 2 software is a rich Internet application framework based on Adobe Flash that will enable you to productively create beautiful, scalable applications that can reach virtually anyone on any platform.

The SDK was downloaded and extracted from : http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flex/sdk/flex_sdk_2.zip.

File:first.mxml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application
    xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="center">
    <mx:Button id="myButton" label="Hello Bioinformatics World !" />
</mx:Application>

The file was compiled to flash using the mxmlc command (a java application):

>FLEX/SDK/bin/mxmlc --strict=true --file-specs first.mxml
Loading configuration file FLEX/SDK/frameworks/flex-config.xml
FLEX/test/first.swf (125402 bytes)
>  ls
first.mxml  first.swf

I then opened first.swf in firefox and...
