There are a plethora of ways to integrate this with Flex.  You could do the SWC route, yes.  You could do the animations, and just control it with Flex.  You could do it in pieces, and let Flex have more control on how they are loaded in (popups in PopUpManager instead of standards container).  You could also have all assets, include globe, be built and contained in Flex.
 
The actual creation of the assets, though, yes, it would probably be best to do in Flash and/or AfterEffects.

I don�t have an example no� It�s still in the �hey that would be kewl stage�

 

Basically they want a globe that�s able to rotate so that you can pick multiple points on it and bring up windows on those points with information about that particular point. 

 

I�m 95% sure now that I�ll have to write/buy a custom .swc and import it�

Do you have a link towards a visual example of the desired effect?

I just had a question thrown at me about a globe type surface being done in flex.

 

My initial gut reaction to that was� �you can�t do that in flex�

 

You could if you used flash to create the globe component right?

 

Then embed that flash component in a flex app?

 

Just thought I�d throw this out there for some input on a solution.

 

Thanks in Advance,
