Hi,
i was just looking at the Gumbo documetation for the first time and I noticed that there is no longer a fl.controls package.
So do I have to conclude that over are the times where I could use the light weight flash controls contained in this package?

Does this mean that pure AS3 projects will soon be a thing of the past and I will have to start using the flex framework even if all i need is a TextArea and the rest is pure flash player stuff(sprites, graphics etc.)?


thanks in advance for answering a worried as3 developer...
