This seems like something that may be useful to me. But in my case, I need to use a full set of menu created from one of those sites that create flash menus as swf online. How would I go about creating the AS for such component. Any help would be highly appreciated. Regards Hi from a newbie! This seems like something that may be useful to me.

The workflow with the Flex component kit for Flash is such a pain to use, I think. For more information about the SWF library approach, check out this article: http://www.novio.be/blog/?p=31 and see Flash action in Flex going on at http://www.billy.be/ for example. Well, what I mean is that you can do what you want. Agreed, the workaround wrapping MovieClips and Sprites in a UIComponent in order to get them on the display list in Flex is a bit awkward...

Of course there isn’t any reason you can’t use the SWC generated here within FlashDevelop. That’s really a feature they should put into Flex Builder though.

Maybe I am just spoiled by FlashDevelop... other wise this is a nice solution. The JSFL is very similar to the script I wrote, I was glad to see that it converts all the objects you have selected.

I agree, the interaction between the rest of the CS line and Flex needs to be better documented and available. The motion of all the buttons together is really fun. Thanks for sharing. Great article!
