I've been the reading helps docs and I've come to the conclution that the suggested technique for using graphical and animated elements in flex is render then using actionscript.
This is all well and good, but I come from a Flash as 1.0 and 2.0 background, I'm used to having these graphical elements on the stage nested in MovieClips where I can easily access and edit them and visualy see the structure(tree if you like) of the swf. This also enables me to swap layers easily, move MovieClips up and down the tree, generate new MovieClip from graphics drawn in the IDE, all visualy! It seems to me that to develop heavily using actionscript in flex, it requires a lot of thought and design about the structre of the swf to be undertaken before actually coding anything. so.. I was just wondering what techniques etc people are using for this type of visualisation. Cheers Si
