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

[Robert Was]

For me the worst limitation of flex2 mixed with graphics assets is lack of control timeline in loaded swf (swf v8), you can control it if communicates via localconnection but it make difficult developer process. Big plus for flex is debugger - first working debugger in flash word, I think.
