Peter, That makes more sense. I already have Flex Builder (it came with my old DevNet subscription... boy I hate MM for cancelling that), so creating Flex apps is not an issue with Notepad or another IDE is not a concern for me.
I am a ColdFusion developer, interested in Flex, but not willing or able to buy Flex Server. I would like to know if the connectivity beta will allow my to build Flex apps in Flex Builder and deploy on my ColdFusion box without the Flex Server. -Aaron On 2/1/06, Peter Bell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Aaron, > > I've only skimmed the Flex product page, but . . . > > I think the point he is making is that Flex builder is no longer required to > build Flex apps.
