Hi Jude, as you might remember I have proposed a similiar tool: "Thermo MK2" [1] which I also discussed on this mailinglist already [2]. For sure: Radiate has more functionality then Thermo MK2 ... my respect !!! My hope would be that a working group could be founded here which will build a tool like this. And I also wished that at least one Adobe guy, who was working on Flash Catalyst CS5.5, would be part of this working group.
I really hope that we can build a FXG 2.0 compliant design tool that would be capable to skin custom SkinnableComponents with declared [SkinPart] and [SkinState] tags as shown in the screenshots of FlashCatalyst CS5.5 and FlashBuilder 4.6 [3]. -- Sebastian (PPMC) Interaction Designer Looking for a Login Example with Apache Flex?
