Muzak,
I mainly just want to be able to access components such as a text
area and have it work in flex and flash and not have to worry about the kind
of text area I'm using if its flex or flash. They should both be able to
work together. Or a simple component such as a button, they should be
recognized the same while calling it in flash or flex.
If not, I can see major pains between the two.
It would be nice if there is some brilliant workflow integration to
handle this point. Otherwise we'll need to make an Interface for
every flex to flash movie which is probably better structure wise, but
what if we want to return objects from one framework to the
next. Might bring up issues such as a text area from flash or flex.
Best, Austin

Even if this will be possible, you probably should think about separating animation from non-animated visual elements
(ui-components).
Why bring in a different framework if Flex already has one?
fl.controls.Button (CS3)
vs
mx.controls.Button (Flex)
Different package, but the same Button though.
In any way, your Flex app probably shouldn't be *talking* to assets inside a
loaded swf (Flash or otherwise) directly anyway.
The loaded swf should have its own class and handle things independant and dispatch events when needed to communicate to the outside
(Flash --> Flex) and have public methods to allow communication in the other direction (Flex --> Flash).
So I think the more important question is, will events dispatched from an FCS3 swf loaded in an Flex app be captured, or in other
words, if a FCS3 swf has a (document) class associated with it, will Flex recognize it.
My guess is that this is what they're currently (or have been) focusing on ;-)
Right now the communication between Flex and a loaded (flash 8) swf is
established through a LocalConnection.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see ;-)
regards,
Muzak

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Flash 9 CS 3 and Flex framework
Thanks David,
That helps, however, I meant more of a workflow, like create the animation
in flash cs3 and
the animation has certain flash components in it, such as a datagrid at the end
of the last frame
or the flash animation has a few buttons in it on the side, along with other
types such as a textarea.
I would want to be able to reference these buttons and components from flex
ideally or have
some really nice work flow that would allow via as3 to reference those
components. That way
I can make some re-usable animations and use flex for the main structure, but
have all of the animation
power needed (this includes having buttons, comboboxes, made in flash cs3)
directly accessible
through flex.
I bring this up as I had thought that there would be a problem with flash 9
cs3 NOT using the flex framework
directly and the different types of buttons, datagrids would be an entirely
different set of code made specifically
for flash 9 cs3 (ie the datagrid in cs3 is not the same datagrid as flex). Im
not
totally tracking on adobe's plan to handle this issue.
I'm just trying to see what the plan on the workflow integration between the
to. The data on flash 9 cs3 is a bit
general on this point so I want to get this clarified.
Best,
Austin
