[disc] flex for game development

I use Flex (not the framework, just the coding environment) to program all of my games and I will NOT go back. It has way too many benefits over using the Flash IDE. Yes there are a few things you have to deal with but the benefits outweigh the downfalls if you ask me.

I created a video about this if you want to learn from my mistakes and get started :P

You should check out http://www.brighthub.com/internet/we...les/11010.aspxhttp://www.brighthub.com/internet/we...les/11010.aspx. It shows you how to create a game with Flex in fair detail.

Has anyone tried using MXML for their custom game classes? I'm curious as to whether it's a viable option for behaviour decorating? E.g.

Code:

---

<ns:Runable speed="10" >
  <ns:Shootable firepower="25" weapon="Sausage" >
    <ns:Hero name="Dr Drillhead The Third" renderer="{ViewFactory}" enterFrame="heartbeat(event)" />
  </ns:Shootable>
</ns:Runable>
