Gosh, I'm in the same boat. I've been trying to figure out how to do this one application for a personal project, and it could honestly use a 50-50 blend of Flash and Flex. I think it's weird that a third application has to come out to bridge Flash and Flex together. Why can't the two become slightly more like each other, to the point where I can just use Flex and AS for components and code, then use Flash to decide what those components are going to look like and where they're going to go? The future is glorious, but the present is crappy...

Make Flash & Flex Happy Together... Jaime, Nice to hear someone else feels similar to the way I do regarding this topic. I really don't want to come off on this thread as being unhappy with Flex or Flash. I LOVE flex, I love Flash, I love Actionscript 3.0, the guys and girls on the Flash & Flex teams are seriously my heroes. I'm sure this topic has cropped up in Adobe as I've heard it at several conferences and flex camps. I think it's a healthy discussion and probably the absolutely right forum to post this on as I don't know too many designers that hang out here. The bottom line is that this argument is nothing new. Designers have been trying to convince coders of how important design is for years and years. Coming from the design world myself, then going back to school for computer science, this topic was always a struggle for me to convince my fellow coders of how important it is to pay attention to designers. (A perfect example these days is Apple) I'm sure things will improve in future versions of both applications! Wish we could fast forward to Flex 5 and Flash CS5. Justin Winter Useflexmore.com
