flex4

Hi,

I'm in the process of building my first serious Flex application and have started out using Flex 3.4 even though 4.0 was available mainly due to the larger number of resources. But now I feel very comfortable with the Flex API's, is it worth upgrading to Flex 4?

What are the benefits? And can I expect much pain when porting my existing code base of only a few thousand lines of code?

Cheers,

Chris
