Regarding Flash / Flex integration ... As a Flash developer I have felt that Adobe was doing a pretty crappy job explaining Flash / Flex integration. Now I understand that they were just waiting to release Flash CS3. After all, Flex 2 is exclusively AS3 based. So in retrospect it seems fair that Adobe has been waiting until a GA release of Flash authoring was out that support AS3 authoring.
First, from what I have seen so far Flash / Flex integration is generally a one-way street. That is Flash authored content can be integrated into Flex projects. I have not yet seen anything regarding integrating Flex 2 authored content into Flash projects. But again this may be because Flash CS3 has not yet hit the streets. IF ANYONE KNOWS OF FLEX IN FLASH EXAMPLES, PLEASE POST THEM? :-) Anyhow, since Austin's original post starting this thread Flash CS3 has been announced and Adobe has started opening up the floodgates on information about Flash / Flex integration. The first big salvo is the Flex Component Kit for Flash CS3<http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Component_Kit_for_Flash_CS3>now up on labs. On Monday JesseWarden.com did a very nice piece using the Component Kit and which shows how well the Flash/Flex can integrate together. Jesse's post is here: http://www.jessewarden.com/archives/2007/04/example_for_fle.html (Thank you again Jesse!) At the labs page<http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Component_Kit_for_Flash_CS3>, there is a "watch this presentation" link with an Acrobat Connect recording by Glenn Ruehle. Glenn is a lead from the team that created the "Flex Component Kit for Flash CS3". Just click the following link and let Glenn walk you through it: http://adobedev.adobe.acrobat.com/p75214263/ Also Grant Skinner, a lead on the team that created the AS3 components that ship with Flash CS3, has posted about integrating Flash/Flex too: http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2007/03/flex_loves_flas.html http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2007/03/using_flash_sym.html http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2007/04/flash_cs3_compo.html Please post back any additional links that you might find.
