• Convert artwork to skin the functional application Flex UI components with a couple of clicks.
• Create and edit behaviors: mouse events handling etc. without writing code.
• Create UIs to handle dynamic data without having access to the actual data source.
• Use design-time data placeholders when marking up an application, testing interactivity, and choreographing motion.
• Completely compatible with Flex Builder, using the same project format.
