The SWF can still hit your backend without issue as long as it's deployed from the same domain.  You don't need Flex server to ensure that.

Yes, you can compile to SWF (and SWC), but any data services will require the Flex back-end to communicate with.

 

Regarding pricing, 12K is just the list price.  Contact the OEM/ISV sales group.

Rick,

 

Just to clarify…

 

You can NOT compile Flex into a SWF?

 

And…

 

Any business my company wants to sell this application to needs to spend 12K before they can run a Flex application?

David:

 

Yes, Flex needs Flex to run <g>.

 

Call Macromedia’s OEM/ISV sales organization and talk with them about your needs and pricing constraints.  They seem very flexible and willing to accommodate unique usage scenarios compared to other OEM’s I’ve worked with.

Hello Everyone,

 

I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to answer my questions about Flex.  Most were basic, new user questions, and I really appreciate all the help.

 

I have been researching Flex for an application my company wants to build and I we have come across a point of contention – price.   My company now wants this application to be independent instead of integrated into a bigger solution, and the idea of hosting is going out the window.

 

So…  I have 2 starter questions…

 

  1. Can a Flex application be compiled into a SWF file, or made to run independent of the server?
  2. Does a Flex application need to be hosted on a ‘Flex’ server?

 

Thanks,

David T.
