Recently I developed my first realworld Flex 2 application for a client, after months of playing with Flex 2. My conclusion so far:
1. Flex 2 AND developement: is slow, cause of the many posibilities. And somewhat fixed layout. For ex. "client is saying he wants the item to resize and fade out to the right, instead of ... " Making project times extendssssszzzzzzzz 2. Flex 2 AND database: We have created an XML for the data, that's makes the application sluggish as hell! XML data have much overhead ( I believe something like 2/3 ) 3. Flex 2 AND performance: On my machine it works ok, but older machines it's has serious performance issues. 4. Flex 2 AND filesize: 400 KB for a shoplike application, product and filtering! Instead I would rather programmed it in old-style Coldfusion HTML with a little javascript. But i searched google, and found many PRO Flex 2 articles, and exaclty 1 againts..... Am I the only one?!?!?! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get the answers you are looking for on the ColdFusion Labs Forum direct from active programmers and developers. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid-72&catid=648 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:287789 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
