I definitely wouldn’t rely only on Attest to pass the Flex 2 Developer Exam because it’s pretty tough. The material that helped me the most (besides Attest, because I wrote it and therefore memorized it pretty well after 500 zillion practices) were the Programming Flex 2 O’Reilly book by Chafic Kazoun & Joey Lott, and the Flex 2 Advanced: Using Data Services videos on Lynda.com by David Gassner…..and of course combing through the livedocs over and over like a librarian.

For anyone attempting to pass the Flex 2 exam, that’s my best advice.

Minimum score 73% and I got a 77%.

I studied pretty hard for this exam, though I was weak on Flex Data Services. My strength in other areas saved me.

Section Name - Percent Correct
Flex Application User Interface (UI) Creation - 93% correct
Flex System Architecture and Design - 92% correct
Flex Application Programming Fundamentals - 75% correct
Interacting with Remote Data and Flex Applications - 46% correct

I thought the exam was tough! I had doubts I would pass, but I said a prayer at the end, maybe that helped.

1. internal // Happens to be the default namespace attribute for AS3. Makes a property visible to references inside the same package.

2. Paris, Texas!!! // The substr() and substring() methods always mess me up because they’re so similar.

Both return a substring of a string. Both take two parameters. In both methods, the first parameter is the position of the starting character in the given string. However, in the substr() method, the second parameter is the length of the substring to return, and in the substring() method, the second parameter is the position of the character at the end of the substring (which is not included in the returned string).

3. True // Calling the method takes precedence over all style settings. It will override inline styles set on components as well.

I’m going to make a new post with the winners info, so look for that one above this post
