Want To See Adobe Flex At Its Best?
Today we launched Cynergy TV, an interactive Flex-based channel where we will be publishing all sorts of showcases, flex tips, tricks, etc., that we hope will benefit the Adobe Flex community. As an employee at Cynergy, I'm incredibly excited to see where we take this, and I definitely plan on contributing as we move forward with the initiative.
So what's this about "Adobe Flex at its best?" Well, "episode 1" showcases some of our most engaging applications. I've noticed several flexcoders and blog posts from people who don't think Adobe Flex is verstaile-enough to be taken seriously or is limiting in its design. I simply disagree, and I hope that these showcases will provide some inspiration for you to create some truly interactive solutions. Our showcases really exhibit Adobe Flex at its best. From ColdFusion to Java to .NET, we've created high-impact solutions that integrate with all sorts of back-end systems.
Are you a developer who has worked with Flex or AJAX on some level and is interested in joining the industry leader in Rich Internet Applications? Shoot us an e-mail with your resume. We really want to hear from you. As it says all over our corporate web site, "Let's Talk." ;)

My one critcism is the viewing of the case studies.
I felt this divereted the attention of the user away from the central "brochureware" piece of the site.
I am not sure of your phases on the project, but it would have been nice to show case study information in a scrollable area that transitioned from the video to a content piece in the Flex application.
You could offer a download of a more detailed case study, preserve the email to recieve more information and/or put a button that warned the user of a window spawn to prepare them that they should come back to the Flex piece after you are done reading. Newer browsers will load these in new tabs if you are a tabbed browser user either focused on the new content or unfocused in a new tab.
The more you can keep them in the central Flex goodness, the more engaged you can keep them.
Very nice Flex useage, beautiful graphics and good use of space and color.
My apologies if the criticism is off base as I do not know of your future plans for the project.
Cheers,
Teddy
@Teddy: You never have to apologize for constructive criticism. At least, that's my thinking. I've taken your feedback and circulated in internally and we're definitely going to consider it in our next revision of the site. Thanks for the feedback!
