Sometimes I wish Flex development was more like traditional application development. At the other hand I shiver at the thought that the coolness of Flex is degraded to this way of working. Flex = Flash. And Flash is supposed to be a creative chaos, cool, far away of the boreness of the IT world and full of passion. That is how it's supposed to be.
 
But it really depends on your kind of business...

Thanks for your interest so far... but this isn't really the direction I
intended to point out.

Dave, I know that the documentation and modelling process basically
doesn't depend on HOW an application is written. I'm not trying from
model to generated code, although it would be really neat to do so in
some cases ;)

My concern is to evolve a process, starting with modelling an
application the "good old" way using software architecture
possibilities. This not only helps me to evaluate and improve an
application, in fact it is also important for me regarding documentation
and maintenance processes.

Again, I do not necessarily want to generate the code based on a UML or
other kind of diagrams, my interest targets the development process
before actual implementation starts.

As I said, for the Java world, there are lots of tools which we are
missing for Flex at the moment. Problem being, these tools are mostly
Java specific (for which I think they shouldn't), since they DO want to
generate code out of the model. And this is the reason I am interested
in how other folks do the modeling.

Cheers, Thomas
