I'd say, this "Convert Flash-Symbol to Flex Component" in Flash Pro is one more way to create an interactive GUI for Flex, and, that is what the guys in the Apache Flex Group [1] have asked for.
I am open for recommendations how to structure this wiki page [2], but, this functionality should be mentioned somewhere. I am also planning to add a few screenshots of these mentioned functionalities, so that Flex newbies get a better overview. Would this be ok for you? -Sebastian [1] http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Adobe-Flash-Catalyst-alternative-4296888.S.204640525?qid=3651462e-a797-4ad8-8c5c-8ea6e96c2a43&trk=group_most_popular-0-b-ttl&goback=%2Egmr_4296888%2Egmp_4296888 [2] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=30749573 On Thu, Jan 24, 2013 at 4:17 PM, Nicholas Kwiatkowski <nicho...@spoon.as>wrote: > I wouldn't say that you can make Flex applications with it though.
