I'm coming into this thread late, and it may well have been covered before (in which case just ignore the ravings of an antipodean lunatic). ... but ....
Please dont take offence Mike, but the flash forms controls are pretty bland and insipid. They look like they were designed by Starbucks. I have yet to see a flash forms control that is anything but the wishy-washy almost-grey-almost 3D controls that Macromedia supply. The web is full of very creative and colourful designs, and it's essential that anything that aspires to compete on the web is able to fit in with those designs. How is flex (and for that matter other flash controls) able to be altered in appearance without having to build an entire new set of controls?
