Re: [flexcoders] Using Flash For Authoring Flex 2 Content -- A Definitive Guide?
I know it's my blog, but this particular entry wasn't cited here, so just in case: http://www.jessewarden.com/archives/2006/12/integrating_a_f.html On Jan 19, 2007, at 5:22 PM, Russell Sprague wrote: Greg, you are right, there doesn't seem to be much about using Flash and Flex together.

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.

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?

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, g
