Thermo produces MXML, which is what Flex uses (partially) to describe the resulting .swf. So it's still helping you with Flex, and therefore, you're going to want to learn Flex if you care about understanding the code Thermo helps you write. I'm not sure it really has a relation to Flash per se in the sense you are thinking of as it can take design comps from Photoshop, Fireworks, etc (not sure if it will take designs from Flash CS4). I could be wrong though, I missed Max this year. :( I think the term "Flex" is kind of confusing people though, as it can mean different things just like Flash cam. Sometimes people use "Flex" to refer to the framework and SDK, sometimes as Flexbuilder, sometimes as the technology, sometimes as MXML (and sometimes for working out at the gym). It's like how people confuse "Flash" with "Flash CS3", the Flash CS framework or the Flash Platform (which has many tools that create content for it, including Flex, Thermo, Captivate, etc.) Jason Merrill Bank of America Instructional Technology & Media · GCIB & Staff Support L&LD Interested in Flash Platform technologies?

I can't. So, i think i am going to wait for Thermo. Does anyone know the release year and month? I hope that Thermo will really fill the gap between Flash and Flex. If it will, i am sure to start learning Thermo. *Pedro Damian Kostelec* [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 11:05 PM, Merrill, Jason < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> So in my opinion the real advantages of Flex over Flash for > >>UI/data-binding is: > > Sebastian, > > This discussion has barely touched on databinding (just one or two > mentions of it being an advantage of the native Flash framework over > Flex), so I'm starting to wonder, have you done any databinding in > Flex?
