Now we are on this topic:
Are the components fast reskinnable ?
I can guess not: That default flex preloader pops out everywhere ..
Not to mention that blue-greyish backgroundcolor: If they had made the
default pink that lazy man would think :)

I must say first that I haven't used Flex a lot. But, even though you can
animate stuff with code (either in Flex or in Flash), one of the advantages
of Flash is that you can create and edit animations on a timeline, which is
a more natural setup for the kind of people that could generally make great
animations (designers, "artists", animators, etc); most animations done in
code, generally by coders, could be almost decent depending on your goal
and, yes, simple stuff is usually a one line no-brainer with a tweening
engine; but for complex, more interesting and "pro" animations, a good
animator with a timeline could do much better job and in less time, in my
opinion.

And it's not just the advantages Flex has with comboboxes and dropdown
menus and the like. There are a ton of other advantages, like for example,
databinding, easy to code layout, including liquid layout, easy component
creation, easy skinning, TONS of components Flash doesn't have,which are not
necessarily just for "applications", they could be for games and other
interactions, like color pickers, charts, tree, and things like webservice
components for data connections (no longer available with
Flash). Flexbuilder also has bandwidth profiling and better coding tools
that Flash doesn't.
For fancy animation stuff, Flash is the clear choice - but anymore, I tend
to look at both equally for projects. For large complex stuff, I would go
with Flex, - for less complex or animation driven, I would go with
Flash. However, Flex DOES have animation and effects built into it too, and
you can animate with Actionscript in Flex, so it's really more a question of
what kind of project you are working on.

I'm struggling with this a bit myself. For web based applications that
include lots of UI like checkboxes, tabs, dropdowns etc. Flex is the
clear
choice. That's what it was built for.For small flash elements like
banners,
animations and video, Flash is probably the best option.
But what seems hard to answer is weather or not mxml is a good option for
full (FWA quality) flash sites.
Look at bmwusfactory.com. All Flex, but did it need to be?

I guess this is somewhat off topic, but I'm new to the whole Flex thing.
What are some of the reasons one would build something in Flex instead
of Flash? Is it just a preference thing, or are there real technical
reasons one should build a particular app in Flex?
Thanks
