Thanks! I'm actually excited about jumping in now.
It's making me wonder if some of the larger Flash apps I'm maintaining
now wouldn't benefit from a port to Flex. I'll have to look into the
server licensing to see if it makes sense for the projects I have in mind.
I guess my next step is
I was saying the same type of stuff...a few days of playing with the
flex alpha has blown me away. I really couldn't grasp it from what
everyone was talking about, after running through the few quick start

I guess we'll have to wait and see what they come up with in F9.

I'm pretty accomplished with Flash/AS 2.0 OOP, classes, custom UI
