I’m a bit late in posting but flex 2.0.1 has been released. A good summary of details are http://www.adobe.com/devnet/logged_in/mchotin_flex201.html
I bought flex2 a couple of weeks ago. I’m currently building the backend of my guild site with it. When there is something to show I will post ๐
I learnt about skinning flex2 apps the other day and I was really impressed. You can customise every component, even the little animation for the cursor when the program is waiting.
