Ted just posted some screenshots for Thermo. Thermo is a highly anticipated tool that will allow designers to create UI designs much like they would in Fireworks then output Flex apps and MXML. The promise that designers and developers to go back and forth in between Thermo and Flex in a nice seamless workflow.

Here are some of the planned features for Thermo:

* Use drawing tools to create original graphics, wireframe an application design, or manipulate artwork imported from Adobe Creative Suite tools.
* Turn artwork from Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or Fireworks directly into functional components that use the original artwork as a “skin”.

* Define and wire up interactive behavior, such as what to do when a user clicks on something, without having to write code.

* Easily design UIs that work with dynamic data, such as a list of contacts or product information, without having access to the actual data source. Design-time sample data can be used as a realistic placeholder when laying out an application, testing interactivity, and choreographing motion.

I don't want to steal Ted's thunder so check out the Thermo screenshots and consider coming out to MAX if you're interested in learning more.

I'm curious about what you think of tool like this. Is it going to work? Is it going to be powerful enough for designers? Are AS3 developers going to be happy with the code it produces? Let's discuss.
