I will be demoing the Flash/Flex Integration Kit at the FITC Keynote. I think it is one of the best additions to the Flex toolset and bridges the gap between the 2 development paradigms for SWF files. Flash developers can add tremendous value to Flex in component creation and they hold the keys to adding the WOW into Flex applications. The Flex/Flash Integration kit was created to close the workflow gap in allowing Flash CS3 to extend Flex 2 at the component level.
Supported:
1. Create Flex Components using Flash CS3.
2. Create custom controls and containers. (Yes containers!)
3. Leverage timeline animation for State transitions.
4. Integration with Flex component sizing and layout.
5. Seamless Event integration using MXML.
6. All features are 100% MXML compatible methods, properties, events, and bindings.
7. Seamless workflow for component creation from Flash CS3.
The Flex/Flash Integration kit installs as an extension to Flash CS3 as an MXP. Simply extend MovieClips within the Library using classes that implement the IUIComponent Interface. One click to export these to SWC which and be seamlessly used within Flex2. Also provided are classes supporting inner "Content" MovieClip allowing developers to create custom containers for Flex. Yes you read that correctly, Flash CS3 creating custom containers for Flex.
I look forward to showcasing this great FREE addition to the Flash/Flex developer toolset at FITC Keynote. Personally, I have long wanted to extend Flex using Flash and this toolkit makes it reality with a few clicks.
This new download will be on labs.adobe.com very soon!
See you at FITC!
Go Flash, Go Flex!
Cheers,
Ted :)
Ted, this is really great! When's your session slotted?
This is awesome ted - I hope it includes support for remoting and web services as right now flash cs3 has 0 support for this.
Wow! This looks great. Exactly what Flex needs, better integration with design tools! Can't wait to see you show it off. Anyway, see you this weekend.
@kristin You can see the schedule for the event here:

Looks like Ted's on at 2:30 on Sunday.
Have you guys had any luck with the currentStateChange and the Flex/Flash integration kit? It seems to fire immediately instead of when the transition to the :end frame is done playing.
Hello Ted,
Where is this Flex/Flash Integration kot donwloadable?
Tks a lot
Hi Ted, I wish I could make Max to see this one. Unfortunately, the conference is scheduled at the same time as SAP TechEd this year.
I watched the screencast of this and it looks great. (unfortunately, if I try to open this now I get a memory error and my browser crashes whether in firefox, ie, or safari) https://admin.adobe.acrobat.com/_a300965365/p75214263/
Anyway, will this be a separate download or will it be included either in CS3, Flex, or both? Also, do you have any ideas of when it may become available?
Thanks!
