Hopefully <a href="http://www.tink.ws/blog/seemless-animated-skins-in-flex/" rel="nofollow">this</a> might give a decent example of the silliness that could be achieved. These graphics could be replaced with bitmaps animated on the timeline or small pieces of video. Basically anything you can put on the timeline in Flash. Build a template for the designers to use, and they would just need to drag the frame labels to the correct positions and then get busy on the timeline.

I (as a designer) do feel that skinning Flex components is pretty restrictive and cumbersome at the moment. I'm really looking forward to Thermo. Great resources - thanks for sharing!
