Thus begins my Flex self-education.  For my own benefit, and for the benefit of others just starting, I shall make some notes in blog posts on topics that I think are particularly useful.

FlexMDI is a multi-document interface library for Flex apps.  It allows you to essentially create multiple windows in the good old Windows MDI style within a Flex app.

You can find FlexMDI here: http://code.google.com/p/flexmdi/

1. Download and unzip the flexmdi-x.y.zip (where x and y are version numbers) to a safe place on your machine.
2. In FlexBuilder, with your project open, open the project properties (Project->Properties).
3. Select [Flex Build Path] on the left, then click the [Library path] tab on the right.
4. Click [Add SWC...], and navigate to the place where you unzipped flexmdi.  Go into the bin directory and select the “flexmdi.swc” and click [Open].

Now the flexmdi tags and elements should be available to your project.

FlexMDI usage examples will come in future posts.
