Nope. http://dev.jessewarden.com/captivate/flexonthedesktop/ The only reason Flex 2 isn't realistic for creating desktop applications currently is: - it's in beta - mProjector, SWFStudio, Zinc, and Screenweaver haven't made a wrapper for Flash Player 8.5 yet Keep in mind, Flex 2 will create

Early on though, I thought there some legalities surrounding the pre-compiling of SWF's via Flex, and then distributing them in their singular state. Things have changed quite a bit between Flex 1.x and Flex 2 (which is of course still in beta). With Flex 2, you can distribute

Other than Flex 2.0 being more advanced than 1.5, what are the major differences between the 2? By default, compilation is done on the developer's workstation, not on a server. By default, you can build Flex 2 applications without any server component; they can talk to a server using web

If I hear you correctly then, there is NO Data functionality built into the BASIC Flex 2.0 Architecture? For a SWF file to have the ability to Send/Receive Data to a Server (whichever flavor that may be), a type of connector must be purchased beforehand, in order for that functionality

No. This is not correct. The Player and Framework support sending and receiving data to the server in a number of ways: HTTP Binary and XML Sockets AMF On top of this player support, the Flex framework provides: HTTPService - makes HTTP calls a little easier SOAP and XML-RPC based web
