Hey Allandt,
I posted a while ago on my blog about Flash vs Flex in regards to widget
development.
http://blog.natebeck.net/2009/01/widget-development-on-the-flash-platform/
It's not a
comprehensive list of pros and cons for each... but it might give you
some ideas.
Cheers,

Jason - just ignore everything I've said. Seems a lot has changed
since I was originally playing with this - and CS4 has features I
hadn't noticed.
Thank you, Eric!

There is actually a way to use Flex classes in Flash CS3 -- I figured it out
a couple weeks ago when building a jabber client in AS3 using the XIFF API
(I wanted to use Flash, not Flex).
It's quite simple actually... I just put up a blog post about it.
Taka,
That's really interesting - excellent to know!
I _suspect_ (having had previous bad experiences) that doing things
within the _complete_ Flex framework will be difficult/will cause
errors. Flex has a lot of managers/singletons which seem to be very
greedy, and assume a lot i.e. assume
are you SURE you can't use embed metadata in Flash CS4? ;)

as adding source files and/or SWCs to an FLA project's classpath? And,
where are all these libraries (Windows XP or Vista)?
Yes.
Amen brother... Testify!

That makes sense Robert.
In the same line of thinking, as the Flex stuff evolves, I see the Flash IDE

Quite a few people I know have studiously avoided Flash development for no

That was mostly down to a combination of the development experience when

It's probably worth pointing out that you can create an ActionScript 3
project in Flex Builder that never goes anywhere near the Flex Framework.
I have quite a few of those on my machine for a number of things that I

I have spent a good portion

That's the reason I was soothsaying about FlexBuilder 2 becoming the defacto

Agreed. Quite selfishly, I'd like the following to happen: Blaze joins the
Adobe graphics suite of tools and integrates with them in all the obvious
ways (video, vector graphics, animation timeline like After Effects, etc).
Its Library can export all these assets into FlexBuilder. FlexBuilder /
As someone who has never really spent much time in the Flash authoring tool,
could you explain the exact features that would be really useful in a Flex
Builder library plugin?
If it looks feasible I might attempt it.

1. Map symbols to classes via some kind of package explorer wizard
2. Import existing Libraries from Flash and maintain symbols' package paths

There may be issues with components/EULA.
Those are the biggies. I'm sure

Not totally sure what you mean by that...
My understanding is that everything in AS 3/Flash 8.5 is a class and that
symbols are no more.
Like I said, I don't do much in the
it.
I've told you all of this before, hahah!

Hi,
It depends on what you are building. A web site is a pretty broad
category.
For the Flash interactive we use on the home page of Macromedia.com, or
for site like http://www.leoburnett.ca/ or for the streaming video on
the home page of Oprah.com, I would expect a creative team to build it
Not totally sure what you mean by that...
Map symbols to classes via some kind of package explorer wizard: if you
create a movieclip in Flash, it goes into the Flash Library as a symbol.
When you right-click this new symbol in the Library and choose 'properties'
you'll see a wizard in which you
ok, in what format is the library saved from the Flash IDE?
Right now from what I know it isn't possible to save a Library from the IDE,
but if I were to venture a guess I'd say this would be possible using JSFL.
If so, a resulting XML and SWC would make sense.
Mike
Hmm
So a library is imported, and lives only in the Flash authoring tool?
The only way to export library items is to add them to a .fla and export
that as a .swf?
The items must be stored somewhere, so maybe I can dig around and figure
that out.

I'm all for making plugins and updates to FB but if this is a huge
upgrade you might want to submit your feature requests to
labs.macromedia.com first. They released FB2 as alpha so that the Flash
community could talk about what needs to be added. I'm not sure how open
MM will be about this
I do usually chat to Macromedia about this sort of stuff before I implement
it.
Often they can't give me a definitive answer on whether it will be
implemented or not because it hasn't been decided yet. In that case I
usually hold off until I'm fairly sure they won't.
No point in me doing work
I think a Library plugin is a logical requirement if MM really wants to
improve workflow. Hopefully it will be considered for FB2/8.5 update.
