It's not only for Flex. Flex == Flash. That's like saying "It's only for Ruby, not Rails." Rails is written in Ruby.
Flex 2 is built with Flash. It's simply a bunch of classes and components written in AS3 that provide a framework for developing applications. Currently, the Apollo compiler is a plug-in for Flex Builder 2, but you could make a stub projector that will load any AS3 swf, which there are multiple ways to write. There's the Flash 8 patch to publish Flash 9, the ANT compiler which works with FlashDevelop, and Flex Builder 2. Yes, you can write regular AS3 swfs with Flex Builder. Flex Builder is just Eclipse with a plug-in. I'm not sure what you "need" Apollo for. It's still in beta, and even after launch, I'm sure that like every single other wrapper out there, it will need time to work the kinks out before it will be ready for mass distribution. If you have a client depending on a Flash wrapper technology, you should look to mProjector or Zinc. _______________________________________________ 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
