Hi Jeffrey. When I said that "I don't want to learn another language" I meant that I don't want to learn the Flex Framework, as in, the MXML ::- ). I know that Flex is a framework, I also said that. But I don't want to anything with MXML. I want to say AS3 only.
I think I'm beginning to understand this entire SWC thing. What I do not like about it is the fact that I am forced to tell my designer to go 1 level deeper than normal. She can't edit stuff directly on the stage, she must edit them in a symbol which contains all symbols. It's not the end of the world but I don't like it. I read Flash CS3 can have FLA components. Maybe this could help??? Axonn. Jeffry Houser wrote: > > > Flex is not a language, it is a framework.
