Flex and Fireworks

Abstract

We mentioned in the first chapter that Flex plays well with graphics programs—in the case of Fireworks CS3, it is more like they are so close, they finish each other’s sentences. Fireworks CS3 comes with some specifically built tools that allow you to create the layouts for your Flex project in Fireworks and then export them into Flex Builder. This enables you to leverage the graphics tools of Fireworks and lets you design within an environment that you may already be familiar with.
