Ryan Stewart talks to Matt Chotin about the new Thermo design and upcoming additions to the Flex SDK. Then he shows you FXG, a new graphics interchange format supported in Flex 4, code-named "Gumbo".
If after watching this video gets you all revved up for Flex 4, then, head over and download the latest build of the Flex SDK.

This looks really exciting, although I have some doubts about the readability of the markup and feel it might get unweildy (just like wpf).
I quite like keeping the assets in flash and png etc as this makes it easy to change afterwards. I don’t think the designers make the final designs, so are designers going to be able to edit the mxml after the developer has integrated a load of code.

You’re right Flex isn’t a designer friendly application when it comes to developing RIAs. Adobe’s answer to that is called Flash Catalyst. You should check it out!
