Hey Cloggin, welcome back

I'd like to react on your statement about a game in flex.

Uhm, what's the point? Flex -you probably know the argument very well- is an application [GUI] tool, with a sweet component suite that is geared towards that purpose. The moment you start making very innovative, special, bombshock-ish interfaces etc, you loose the benefit of Flex' components, because they only customize so far. At that point, you're left with making your own components in... well flash.

Since a game only exists of exotic graphical components, I don't see the point of doing anything of the game in Flex. Please correct me if I'm missing something
