I gather you haven't been following all of the announcements around the Flex 2 product line? Today, you get Flex Builder 1.5 'free' with Flex Server and you write MXML / AS2 applications and deploy them to the Flex Server which compiles them on demand and servers up SWFs. With the Flex 2 product line, you buy Flex Builder 2 (for "under $1,000") and you write MXML / AS3 applications and compile them to SWF which you can then deploy on any web server. The generated SWF can use web services and the new - free - CF Adapter (essentially an updated Flash Remoting adapter for CFMX 7 that supports Flex 2 SWFs). If you want advanced data services (online / offline data sync, push data, peer-to-peer messaging etc), you will need the Flex 2 Enterprise Services server component. In other words, today's Flex 1.5 Server will "grow up" into Flex 2 Enterprise Services (server) but you will additionally be able to build easy-to-deploy SWF files using Flex Builder 2 and the new Flex 2 Framework (MXML / AS3). Hope that helps? For more information, visit http://labs.macromedia.com/ where you can download all the alpha releases for free. -- Sean A Corfield -- http://corfield.org/ Got frameworks?
