Whenever I want to build a cool flash application and I have enough time and resources I don't use flash components.
Don't get me wrong I really like the idea of flash (v2) component architecture. I wouldn't mind spending hours (as I did in the past) skinning and formatting them. The only thing I ask for is a component set, that dose not decrease the performance of my application. I created my own UI components for my applications. Ok they are not skinable but they do their job just fine and my application runs smoothly. And it certainly takes me less time to modify their graphics than it takes me to figure out why my v2 application temporally freezes or why it takes a second for a label in radio button to appear. I mean that's what's flash all about - good looking and smoothly running applications.

I'm with you, though. The pendulum has swung too far to the other side. Pre-Flash MX, it was "no Flash UI assets look the same". Now, post Flex 1.5 it's "all Flex apps look the same". Mars needs women. Flex needs UI designers. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Johannes Nel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Flashcoders mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 14, 2005 4:01 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Flex Style Flash MX2004 Components yeah, they do look better than the IDE ones, but its easier to skin stuff in flash than flex from my experience thus far. due to this we are seeing more and more apps looking very similiar, which as a non-designer i think sucks.
