If you have tried Flex 2 and can't tell the difference between the 2 IDE's, I don't know what to say..
http://labs.adobe.com/flexproductline/ some video's http://labs.adobe.com/flexproductline/videos/ breeze presentation: http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/productinfo/brz_flex2/ FAQ: http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/productinfo/faq/flex2_faq.html Now, none of the above actually 'compare' both IDE's, but maybe that's because there's no comparing them ;-) Beta 3 comes with a "start page" similar to the one in Flash and other Adobe products that has a list of sample applications, tutorials etc.. I think they've done a great job regarding documentation and stuff to get you going. regards, Muzak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam Pasztory" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Flashcoders mailing list" <flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 3:03 AM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Flex vs. Flash IDE >>> Someone suggested that Adobe hasn't done a good job explaining the difference between the two. I can't see how you can say that. There has been a public beta available for over 6 months and a site almost entirely devoted to it. The Samples Explorer is as clear an explanation as any developer should need. The only way to really understand the difference is to attempt to build something with it. While I think the concept of a beta program is great, I spent quite a few hours poring over the documentation, and followed a few tutorials, and I did not find the clear explanations I was hoping for. Maybe that makes me a bad developer. But I assume Adobe wants to sell to bad developers as well as good ones. :) This was a few months ago, so maybe things have improved. If I'm wrong, please point me to the documentation, FAQs, etc. from Adobe that clearly explain the diferences between Flex IDE and Flash IDE, or details about how to integrate Flex into my workflow. Maybe this is all coming after the release. Or maybe it's been added since I looked through the labs site. Where is the practical tutorial for Flash Developers who want to transition to Flex? I want to like Flex. I really do. I'm not trying to attack any Flex developers or any of the smart people who work at Macromedia/Adobe. I'm just sharing my personal observations around it so far. There's enough contradictory info in this thread alone to make me think they're not doing a good enough job getting the message out. The ongoing success of Flash is important to me personally, and to my career, so I that's why I've felt the need to say this. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
