Flex Component Kit for Flash CS3 – WOW

I just saw an amazing presentation on the new Flash Component Kit for Flash CS3 which shows Flash content as a full fledged citizen within Flex applications. Not only is it super easy to compile your Flash CS3 content for Flex, but Flex Builder will use the content seamlessly.

Key Features that I can remember:

• Ability to access Flash content natively within Flex using any Flex container
• Flash content can be used as a skin
• Ability to define events from within Flash content which can be accessed from Flex
• Bounding boxes to define the space the Flash content will occupy within the Flex application
• Flashframe labels can be accessed from Flex using state management
• and more that I can’t remember, anyone else who watched the Connect demo, please add comments.

Will be available Monday 4/23/2007 at http://labs.adobe.com
