Hi, One thing I want to be crystal clear about, is that the *DESIGN VIEW* needs to be adopted in Apache Flex. Design view is part of Flash Builder and wasn't part of the donation by Adobe to Apache. There's not a lot we can do about that. While not optimal - you can still use the designer in

Yeah my workflow is similar to what Nick described. Our UI design tends to be 90% done before integration or much code is written. But we've never had design view totally break either; perhaps I'm misunderstanding what people mean by that, or we've been lucky. For most of our UIs, layout at
