Hi All...

I am trying to get an application prototyped fairly quickly. Initially, I
started using a Java Applet but there is a good bit of high speed rendering and
it occured to me that Flash seemed like a better solution. The Flex 2B2 with
AS3 is truely impressive! AS2 would not have met my needs, but AS3 and these
nice UI components seem to provide what I need.

My problem is that, although I have the language reference and class docs for
the UI Components, I'm finding learning about them tricky. There are piles of
books available for the older 1.5, but I don't know if the UI Components are
completely new for Flex 2.

If I get a book about Flex 1.5 UI development, would it be helpful or a
frustrating waste of time and money?

Thanks...
