But not if you look on Theresaneil’s Weblog. This is a great summary of Flex tools and applications sporting modern non-flex design.

I recently added a fade transition to a Flex app and was surprised to find that the Flex elements faded nicely as expected, but the text… the data of the application, failed to fade in or out. Needless to say, this looked quite strange.

Building Flex apps using Cairgorm
Why does Cairngorm seem so difficult? Tends to over explain the patterns in CG. Forget that and just focus on easily-repeatable approach. MATE is another potential Flex framework to check out.
DL from labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Cairngorm. Add it to the Flex Project Build Path > Add SWC.
The FrontController determines where [...]

WireFrame Viewer/Editor 5.0 from RIA Forge – Pretty good wireframing tool, but it requires Fusebox 5. Still though, this could be really big for us. We might want to try it out.
