A couple of month ago I started with a project with the Sample Flex Viewer 1.3, even though all this is new to me i managed to customize and extend the application with a lot of help from the code gallery and the forum.
Now I'm back at work after a vacation and the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex 2.0 Beta is released, and to me it seems like a good idea to base my application an this new version instead. Therefor I wonder if i can use the widgets created for the SFV 1.3 with the AGVF 2.0. I gave it a quick try but it didn't work, tried both to just add a compiled widget and add the source code to the new project, that caused a lot of errors that will need a lot of rewriting the code (at least according to the Migrating from 1.3 API to 2.0 API document).
Is the option I have to rewrite all the code? For a newbie that will be difficult, specially for widgets that I've not done my self, just downloaded and made a few modifications.
I've also made changes to the banner with code from the code gallery, I guess that code isn't reusable without modification.
And a last question, how much of changes is expected in the AGVF 2.0 beta till the final release? maybe it's a bad idea to start looking in to customizations as long it's a beta version?
