Already deployed our first Flex 2 app and it is external facing back in October. With the express install anyone who doesn't have FP9 will get upgraded very easily, so no worries there for us at all. Dimitrios Gianninas RIA Developer Optimal Payments Inc.

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 <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, g -- WARNING ------- This electronic message and its attachments may contain confidential, proprietary or legally privileged information, which is solely for the use of the intended recipient.
