This is definitely an SDK bug. I was using the Flex 3.5 SDK and then downgraded to 3.4.1.10084. That is when this error magically appeared. Switched back to 3.5, all better.

On3: Denver’s First Adobe Authorized Training Center

On3 will help Adobe Software Developers learn to use Adobe Flex, ColdFusion, and Adobe AIR, as well as other web development tools like BlazeDS and mobile phone application development.

Denver, CO September 11, 2009:  On3, Inc. is proud to announce the opening of its Adobe Enterprise training facility located in downtown Denver at 110 16^th Street, on the corners of the 16^th Street Mall and Broadway. This expertly staffed Adobe training facility will help Colorado’s software engineers to become more proficient in Adobe AIR, Adobe Flex, ColdFusion, and the other products in the Adobe Enterprise suite, as well as other web development tools and mobile application development. During the training process, On3 provides experienced Flex, AIR, and ColdFusion software developers, consultants and architects to keep clients’ projects on schedule. The three-pronged approach of offering mentoring, consulting and training provides companies with all the elements to grow their own Adobe expertise from within.

“Companies are looking for a way to quickly train their software engineers to become experts without becoming dependant on external consulting firms.” According to the founder and principal consultant, Rob Rusher. “A good way for companies to stretch their software development budgets is by investing in mentoring, training and development. This approach limits the ongoing expense firms incur when using external consultants exclusively, resulting in a much better return on their investment. We focus on Adobe Flex, ColdFusion & Adobe Air training because they provide the richest interactive environment.”

On3 is the first and only current Adobe Authorized Training Center in Colorado. This will allow Colorado firms the opportunity to attend local Adobe Flex, ColdFusion, and AIR classes. The training helps drive local innovation to improve Colorado’s ability to compete and grow the Colorado economy. Additionally, Denver is a training and development destination for cost conscious companies who can avoid the relatively high travel expense charged in larger metropolitan areas for Adobe training.

Since 2001, On3 has been providing team-focused consulting and training to help organizations shorten their IT learning curve and master next-generation technologies. On3 focuses on Adobe software design, development and training for rich Internet applications. Beyond incisive and effective teaching, On3 specializes in cultivating long-term, self-sustaining IT practices for organizations. On3’s teamwork driven philosophy and Adobe software development expertise helps organizations build their own Adobe development resources. By using real-world developers who excel as instructors in their Denver, Colorado based Adobe Authorized Training Center, On3 helps companies create a sustainable pipeline of qualified developers, through certified Adobe Flex, AIR, and ColdFusion classes, who build applications to change the way we work and live.

Virgin Airways seems to be trying to DV8 from the norm.  Power at every seat. Ethernet and USB at every seat with wireless broadband connection coming soon. Which is all very cool, but what takes the cake is their in-flight entertainment system. On top of the music, video and games (yes games) on the 9 inch touch screen, they have this very cool airborne social network where you can communicate with anyone on the plane via IM, chat room, sms, email, etc…

They also have this SuperFly Wednesday promo where everyone gets free drinks. I so can’t wait for them to start service to my home town. Finally an airline with an open mind and plans for innovating.

I am in the process of moving all of my old posts to my new blog. So if you are looking for them, they are coming.
