Hi, I've been too busy developping in Flash lately to give a try to the new Flex yet, so excuse me if the following question sounds stupid:
Flex use to be a server product, but with the new Flex Builder can you simply build a swf file like you do with flash and include it in regular html page? (and therefore php,etc...) Or do you absolutely need to have a specific Flex server of some sort running in order to deliver those files?

ASP, PHP, etc. Those things are free to develop on, more prove and seemingly scale a hell of a lot better. Yes, it's not as simple as an "EASY" button, but if work was easy it'd be fun and we'd all be broke. > Have you looked into FDS? http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flexdata_services2/ When you say: develop the front ends in flash You mean the Flash IDE? What makes you think developing in Flex does not allow you to communicate with any traditional back-end? Flex Builder is just an IDE. The end result is an swf the same as with the Flash IDE. It's just that an swf published from Flash is currently a different version. regards, Muzak _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
