That is really cool. I really like the videos you put out that show how to integrate all of the tools together to produce something that is useful in flex. I am a Flex developer who is fairly proficient in photoshop but seriously lacking in flash. Keep up the good work!
Awesome. Thanks Serge. The stuff you do is very cool.

good post, but the components done in flash are not scalable( you must keep them at the same size). I.E if I place a button inside my new container then specify a height or width which is bigger or smaller than the container created in flash the contents will change there size.
Can we give the FlexContentHolder properties similar to a Canvas or Box?
Link to the kit seems to be broken.
Thanks for pointing that out. This is an error and it should be back shortly. Apologies for the inconvenience.
Love the quick and to-the-point videos, Serge. Like Kenneth points out, the containers distort when scaled in Flex Builder. Is it possible to add scale nine grids on these?
hi, thanks for this tutorial Serge , very intuitive
but i have a problem ,
I’m using Flash CS4 (fr) and I installed the flex component kit but I see Only “Make Flex Component” in the command menu
