Hiy’all …

To me Flex and Flash Builder are the same no?

I use Flash Professional because I need to use graphics and instances on the stage (but without timeline animation); really just so I can plonk some graphic on the stage from library and see what scale and x pos etc I want to put it in.

Yet FB, Flex seem more powerful, all geared for taking the plunge OOP style, and seem more integrated for AIR and Mobile Deployment.

Flex - should that still be around? Isnt FB the combo of flash and flex? What should I be using …

Anyone got anything to say about this stuff? :liar:
