RE: [flexcoders] DW & Builder
Title: Message I agree with 1. That was my initial thought: why build two products that do the same thing (mainly)? Seems like internal competition for sales. I just wishFlex "components" and all could be installed as an extension in Dreamweaver withall code-hints available as well. That'd be better for me. -Original Message-From: dunwerkin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, February 12, 20058:47 AMTo: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSubject: [flexcoders] DW & BuilderI was a actually a little disappointed to see that there wasn't atleast an *option* to better separate the usage of the two products.

DW & Builder

RE: [flexcoders] DW & Builder
Title: Message I guess I learned Flex before, so it looks natural to me to just use Flex for ColdFusion stuff. I’m not sure if FlexBuilder has all the extensions or capabilities included in WD. I’ve seen the new rich forms in ColdFusion and they look similar to the Flex components. Is Macromedia planning to incorporate more of the “rich” components into ColdFusion? From: John C.
