Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 2 limitations vs. raw Flash 8 Prof?

[Nick Collins]

The fact of the matter is that it's not an either/or situation. You should use both. For the logic and coding you definitely want to be using Flex with SVN for obvious reasons, and for building the skins of the UI components to create the "cinematic experience" you want to be using Flash.

            A big one for me is Developer workflow.  Try sharing FLA's between a
couple of developers.  Using MXML and AS with CVS/SVN you can get tons
of work done with out working about who has the latest file.  Granted
you could do this with Flash 8 professional and external AS files but
that is also messy in its own right.
