ActionScript 2 is based on ECMA script. We didn't define ECMA script (at
least not by ourselves, as we are currently on the working group).

Laszlo's scripting language is ECMAScript (not a proprietary language, as you
stated in your original post). The 'deviations' you note are bugs. Bugs don't

Flex is tag-based as well. Flex uses the mxml language, which is MM's

You need to use some sort of scripting language to handle all of your
data interaction and processing. You tie Flex or Laszlo to your
components/web services, but they just sit in front of your application
and allow you to generate a rich user interface.

Flex is UI level with the Flex server providing "gateways" to back end
stuff, one way to put it at least.So yes, Flex has no DB
interaction like CF does. Flex uses AS2, so has a standard
programming model and all. You got it in your last sentence.

Flex and Laszlo are both presentation servers, so yes, they only deal with the
front end and presentation of data
OK...I'm still missing the bigger picture
As I said already...the Lazlo demo leads me to belive it's only for UI
coding (although there is talk of databut via XML only).
So does Lazlo (and Flex) have an equivalent of:
-database interaction (CFQUERY)
-conditional logic (CFIF/CFCASE)
