I have uploaded a zip file of the Ribbit Air example application I created for people to download and try out. I did a brief tutorial on the Flex Cookbook regarding SMS Texting and the Ribbit API. This application includes SMS texting as well as a working phone UI that will make calls via the api. This is just example code that I wanted to put out for folks to mess around with.

Let me know what you think as well.

Although you will need to sign up for your own Ribbit developer account.
