Hot off the press…. or grapevine… look to labs on Monday for some Flex and Flash CS3 integration goodies (it’s on the Flex side). It will be a great step forward for Flex as Flash integration/skinning. More to come when the information becomes more available.

The ability to take a Flash animators motion code and save/paste it as AS 3.0 is nice. The ideas are flowing…Version control motion code, Flex component cool motion effects,… I can’t wait til the end of April to get my hands on the new CS3 suite.
