Adobe’s Flex Interface Guide
Everyone’s been blogging about the new Flex Developer Center and some of the new features. The area I’m most excited about is the new Flex Interface Guide area. There’s already some great information up and some more on the way. I’m digging the sample FIG components which include a Callout, Paged Lists, and Pan|Zoom components.
More interesting though are the things they didn’t include. The one that caught my eye was “Guiding with Motion”. For those who have worked with Transitions before, it can be quite a task at times. I did a transiton once that was about 80+ lines of MXML and it would have been nice to work with it visually. Maybe like some of the features in Apple’s Motion product. I wonder if “Thermo” will help me out in that area. Hmmm…
Can’t wait until all is known.

I’ve been thinking about Flex transitions a lot lately, too… I have an app with about a dozen states in it that I’d like to easily and stylishly transition between and handling the choreography of the components dance via MXML is a chore.
You headed to Max this week?

@Chad - I feel your pain. Hopefully we’ll get an answer at MAX. I’ll be there!
