I did a google a while back when I took a look at the Flex2 builder plugin for Eclipse (Or more the videos demonstrating it.) for Flash accessibility issues. There were some caveats, but I don't remember any real show stoppers. I think the spidering is handleable as well.
The price issue is a consideration... I am intrigued by openlaszlo because it looks like they are about to release a DHTML engine in addition to the current flash one. Nifty. But they're both pretty far removed from the HTML Tao. That's what I've been thinking about this lately... :Denny On 5/5/06, Rick Faircloth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > My biggest concern with FLEX would be two-fold: > > 1) Cost of setting up the environment, including the > cost of FLEX server and FLEX Builder (which, incidentally, > isn't spelled out at all on the Adobe site...it just says > contact us.
