Using Flash in Flex

Grant Skinner has a great post up about a technique he’s calling “shake ‘n’ bake swfs”:

“Normally Flex will strip all ActionScript from an embedded Flash symbol. We’ve developed a technique called Shake’n'Bake SWFs (yes, I did watch Talladega Nights before coming up with the name), which allows you to utilize Flash symbols in Flex projects with all AS intact. I mentioned this technique at 360Flex, but didn’t go into much detail because there are better options available when using Flash CS3. A couple of people mentioned that they would like to learn about the technique, so I thought I’d blog about it. “

Read it all here. I can’t wait to hear what the “better options” in Flash CS3 are….

Hmm.  That sounds sarcastic, but it’s not meant to be – I really can’t wait.
