Re: [flexcoders] Flex Vs Ajax
There are lots of reasons which are probably covered in the links others suggested, but it depends on your project and resources too. I chose Flex over Ajax also to avoid the cross-browser issues (Ajax = JavaScript = lots of cross browser compatibility issues and workarounds). Of course you still need the Flash Plugin, but it's easier to get someone to install or upgrade a plugin than to switch or update a browser. Personally I also found Flex easier to learn than Ajax techniques, although that probably depends on your comfort level with JavaScript vs ActionScript. The FlexBuilder IDE helps the learning curve too. I think you will find that even with all the Ajax libraries out there, Flex is still a more rapid UI development option than Ajax. -Rachel On 12/19/06, sanjaypmg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi All, Can anyone tell me Flex Advantages over Ajax and Vise-Versa.

Sacalability, Maintainability and OOP programing model, could be 3 great adventages over AJAX others could say more things to the huge list of adventages...

The one that I know of is that a full Flex implementation has the capability to PUSH as well as PULL data, while Ajax only has the ability to PULL. Probably, most of the time, pulling is fine and can get the job done.
