		<description><![CDATA[I have had a few inquiries about whether it is possible to integrate Adobe Flex with ATG via AMF. My short answer is Yes. It should be possible. The only issue that needs to be solved though is to access the nucleus components from flex. You need a factory for that e.g. the equivalent of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this tutorial I will teach you step by step how to use the out of the box drag &#038; drop functionality provided by flex list controls.

Just some basic theory before we go into code. The drag &#038; drop process has three stages – initiation, dragging and dropping.

The initiation is when the user clicks on a flex component and keeps the button pressed. In this case the component that the user clicks on is the drag initiator. Any flex component that supports dragging will handle either the mouseDown() or mouseMove() event to initiate the drag &#038; drop operation. The event handler will then create a DragSource object which contains data related to the object being dragged. For example if you are dragging a file between two components, the DragSource object will contain a reference to a File object. Once the DragSource is constructed the DragManager.doDrag() method is called where the first argument is a reference to the object that initiated the drag, the second argument is the DragSource object and the third argument is a reference to the mouse event that called the event handler. There is a fourth optional argument that allows to specify a drag proxy that may be used to represent the object being dragged on the screen(e.g. a semi-transparent version of the drag initiator)

In the Dragging stage the user moves the flex component across the screen up to the drop target. If you specify a drag proxy image, that is what is shown on the screen when dragging the component. If not specified a rectangle will be shown instead.

In the dropping stage when the component being dragged arrives to a potential drop target, a dragEnter event is raised. The event handler that handles this event should check whether the DragSource object contains data that is of an acceptable format.  If that’s the case then DragManager.acceptDragDrop() is called indicating that the drop target is happy in accepting the dragged data.]]></description>

Containers like VBox, HBox, Panel(except for layout=absolute), Grid, &#8230; automatically position items for you.
Lets try to apply a Move effect to a Button inside a VBox:

		<description><![CDATA[Generating a random number in actionscript 3 is very similar to java.
To generate a random number betwen 0 and 100:

var number:Number = Math.round(Math.random() * 100);

Where Math.random() generates a random number between 0 and 1 and Math.round(), rounds the result to the nearest integer.
If you want to generate a number within a given range [start, end]:
