All, I'm working on a project for a client - my assignment is essentially to develop an interactive charting widget with a number of unique display options and behaviors.
Because of those unique features, I'm developing the SWF from scratch, instead of modifying an existing pre-developed component. My plan is that the chart widget will be a single SWF, which the client will be able to embed in any HTML page. Two questions - 1. The client has asked about the feasibility of developing this in Flex instead of Flash. Since I'm only beginning to learn Flex, I can't really answer this. But my simplistic understanding is that, at a high level, Flex is a language for tying together individual Flash components into an overall UI/RIA. So, if you're building a low-level highly customized, unique "component" - Flash is the right tool for that, not Flex. Is this correct? 2. Assuming 1. is correct, what special considerations are there for developing a Flash movie/widget/component that might be embedded in an HTML page, AND/OR used within a Flex application? Many thanks in advance for your advice and insight!
