I completely agree with him as well. I don't have Flex running on the server at all. Instead, I take my Flex-compiled .swf and place it on a "typical" web server. Then, the Flex application is delivered as a .swf and there's no need for the server to do any extra processing at all. I've never had a server crash because it couldn't send out .swf files fast enough. Keep in mind though, you'll need a Flex license for every server the .swf file sits on. You can use RemoteObjects without a Flex server running as well, but you'll need to use another AMF gateway such as OpenAMF (or you can use ColdFusion). If you use WebServices, you might need a little shim script to get around the security restrictions of the Flash Player (loading data across domains), depending on what server the web services are located on. >Also, I read somewhere that RemoteObjects is faster.

It's hard to give a definite yes/no answer because I've actually seen results go both ways... -d -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
