nicii - I'm not sure whether this addresses your question, but I've posted a more complex sample here.

thanks for this, i really wanted to look at another example.
one thing i cant get straight, does the flashCS3component only allow the symbols to be used as components in flex,
for eg: u have a symbol that entails everything and you call that in flex. Is there no other way ?

Thanks for the nice example and the heads up on some gotchas.

FYI

I’ve only built one small app in Flex 2 but about a week ago I migrated it to Flex 3. (ie: created new project in Flex3, copy/pasted my MXML code, then moved copies of my asset: embedded font swf, skins, etc.)

Everything worked smoothly. There have been a couple of random crashes. But I had these in Flex 2. And they are very infrequent. I did notice the design mode seems to take a bit longer to compose itself. But this may also be due to the fact that I’ve added more objects as well.

I did encounter one strange occurrence where Flex3 failed to publish on save for an app. I simply re-created the MXML application and that resolved it. So I am chalking up to being just a fluke…perhaps file corruption. But haven’t had a problem since.

Have not noticed any significant differences between the two.
