Greg, you are right, there doesn't seem to be much about using Flash
and Flex together. I read a lot of Flex/Flash blogs, and Jesse's
post was the first I had seen of any crossover.
I personally like to have my "How Tos" spoon fed to me, and coming
from a Designer gone Programmer background, it would be nice to see
more "Flash" style development for Flex.
I know they are to different products, but I personally can't wait
for Flash 9's release, The Flex docs are a little to programmer
oriented for my taste..

Thank you Jesse Warden:
Flash 9 Button in Flex 2

Now I know how grateful Flash developers were when Colin Moock
first published ADG (ActionScript: The Definitive Guide).
This morning I started reading the post by Jesse's that I have
linked to above. Wow!
Jesse's post has one thing after another that I have not seen in
any other source. And it leaves me wondering, "Jesse, where did
you get all this from?" If this was substantially all from "just
doin' it" and doping it out, thank you. But regardless, thank you
for posting the link above (and so many others).
Two questions for this list:
1) Can anyone provide other links to blog posts, articles, etc that
detail how to use Flash for authoring Flex 2 content? And I mean
Flash authoring content that integrates with Flex 2 content (i.e.
AS3, not relying on LocalConnection or ExternalInterface) (And
sources other than Jesse's blog ;-)
I know there was the following thread here on FlexCoders:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/55461
2) But more important, links into Adobe.com (including Livedocs)?
This second question is my real question.
The "Flash Professional 9 ActionScript 3.0 Preview" has been public
for over 6 months. And there have been demos of Flash CS3 for
months. But so far I do not see anyone from Adobe focusing on
Flash Authoring for Flex 2 using AS3.
I am not saying that it is not there, just that I am not seeing
it. And I keep my eyes open for it all the time.
The scariest thing for me, is that Flash CS3 is looking like it
will integrate better with Illustrator than with Flex 2.
Please excuse me if I seem like I am asking for clearly documented
workflows and processes. But both Flash and Flex 2 are: a)
commercial products; b) owned by Adobe; c) do integrate.
Yes, I would like the "How Tos" handed to me on a silver platter.
In Adobe docs. On Devnet. etc.
Thanks,
