JesterXL,   Could you please expand on your statement?   I am trying to create an app that uses web services to manage data.  Are you saying it is possible to compile this app into a SWF, give it to ‘Joe Blow’, and the app will run without issues?  All they would need is the Flash player?   ~David T.           From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of JesterXL Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2005 10:05 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Questions, Questions   To clarify, you don't need Flex server to communicate with back-end data servvices.   ----- Original Message ----- From: JesterXL To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2005 11:02 AM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Questions, Questions   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.     ----- Original Message ----- From: Rick Bullotta To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2005 10:56 AM Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Questions, Questions   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.   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of David Terry Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2005 10:43 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Questions, Questions   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 T.   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Rick Bullotta Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2005 09:33 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Questions, Questions   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.   Rick Bullotta CTO Lighthammer Software www.lighthammer.com From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of David Terry Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2005 10:28 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Questions, Questions   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…   Can a Flex application be compiled into a SWF file, or made to run independent of the server? Does a Flex application need to be hosted on a ‘Flex’ server?   Thanks, David T.         Yahoo!
