Well, it's pretty flexible. At one end, you can do as suggested below, and use flex purely as a presentation layer, keeping business logic and data storage on the server. At the opposite end, you can deploy as an air application which functions as a pure desktop application with all three layers on the user's machine. In such a scenario, you could use the local database and/or filesystem as needed.
You can do pretty much anything you want anywhere along the continuum between those two endpoints. Needless to say, once you get into the world of air deployment, you open up all sorts of possibilities for distributing responsibilities between the server and local environment, and for sharing and/or synchronizing data between those two locales. Although a browser-deployed solution will not have access to local file system, never mind a local database, it will nonetheless have a significant amount of local storage available to it. Needless to say, the security situation is quite different depending on whether what one deploys is a browser-based application, or an air application. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "markgoldin_2000" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Well, Flex and FP are presentation layers.
