Flex Component Kit for CS3 is a BIG Boost for Flex

Adobe released the Flex Component Kit for Flash CS3 today which helps bring together Flash and Flex so designers and developers can work together. This is something we’ve been struggling with on our team, so it’s a VERY welcome release, and having seen some early versions of this, I’m glad to see it progress so quickly. (This is the demo presentation, WELL worth spending 30 minutes on)

It has some pretty significant implications for Flex. For the first time Flashers and Flexers can really work together as equals and Flex developers can incorporate Flash content from their designers. This is going to go a long way towards making it easy to customize Flex applications and really make them stand out from a UI standpoint. I think this is a big leap for the framework and it’s going to result in some high quality user interfaces.

Flex just got a whole lot more powerful with the ability to leverage the Flash talent out there. Upward and onward.
