  gadi,

What is your audience and when will you be deploying?

I ask because Flex 2 has no capability to publish to Flash Player (FP)
versions earlier than FP9.  As of the latest FP penetration stats (Sept
'06), FP9 is only at around 36% (of the known universe).

See following link for FP product manager's comments and link to latest
survey:
http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emmy/archives/2006/11/flash_player_st.cfm

This is a non-issue if the users of your Flex app are internal workgroups
where you can dictate software requirements, or having users upgrade to FP9
is not a show stopper.

If this is an issue, then timing of deployment can save the day.  Adoption
rates are a moving target.  By this time next year adoption likely will be
over 90%.

Regarding Webdevotion's comment about "Too much free time" that is not
likely to happen for either of two reasons.  1) So many cool things you will
be able to do, you will be living and breathing Flex all the time; 2) The
boss man will be so happy that you are getting so much work done, he is
going to pile on more than you can ever get done  ;-)

hth,
