We’re currently looking into some ideas for Flex components. It’s certainly on our radar, and we’re definitely hoping to provide useful solutions in all areas of Flash development, including Flex and AIR.

We have not yet announced release dates for any future libraries or updates to the existing libraries.

I know that Flash components should work in Flex applications, but I really don´t know how I could make Flash CS3-components work in Flex. Any suggestions? Hi,

The polylineOverlay example draws lines using an .xml file. Is there a different function I should use to draw lines on-the-fly? Or is there an undocumented way to send an array of points to the polylineOverlay? In a Flex2/AS3 route mapping application I need to draw lines as I click and

Sorry about the confusion, Justin. The APIs have been moved to a new location: http://developer.yahoo.com/flash/astra-webapis/

Regarding Abbey Road... yeah, not to nitpick your photography, but it's interesting that you might get a better photo if you're all actually walking. Not as easy to pull off--but I suspect in this photo you're all just standing there faking it. What's even more interesting is that if you take a staged photo of someone... you'll get the best results if they're voicing words that coincide with the intended message. For example, if you're photographing someone pretending to wake up... having them say things like "ah, morning... I'm still tired" and so on will yield better results than if they're silent or saying something like "this is so dumb". Try it out sometime--it's quite interesting actually. P.S.

It's part of our core values to have an interest in the entire Flash platform. Some of us, such as myself and Alaric (that I know of for sure), have a bias toward Flex, but I feel right at home developing ActionScript in any environment. I developed Flash components for about two years before I got my hands dirty with Flex. I know my way around the Flex UIComponent architecture as well as I know my way around MovieClips and timelines. Rostislav, you're right. That's a reference to Abbey Road. It was Allen's idea.
