Lots of us have needed a Flex ComboBox populated with U.S. States, and there are examples of that out there. But what I needed for an app I am working on is something a little different, a ComboBox that could display U.S. States or Canadian Provinces (but not at the same time, obviously). One...
I am working on a project that needs to do LDAP lookups, and lots of them. Some of my searches are for a single name, others are for multiple, and some allow partial matches (begin with passed string) while others don't. A simple LDAP test for equality filter might look like this: uid=jsmith....

Ted Patrick built FlexSearch , a simple search app to locate Flex content from dozens of sources (he has over 50,000 articles indexed). Ted posted details on his blog, and also noted that this is his first real ColdFusion application. Well done Ted, and welcome to the wonderful world of ColdFusion...
I just received a rather upset (and even irate) e-mail from a user complaining about ColdFusion's lack of MacTel support.
