[flexcoders] Licensing and dev server compilation

2005-11-03 Thread Jim Phelan
Hello all, We have a client who has a Flex license for their server. We only wish for the compiled SWF to be deployed on their server, so they dont have access to the MXML / AS source files. My question is: is there a way to compile our application on either a) our unlicensed

Revisit this after you develop in Flex for about 2 months...you might find that you made life harder on yourself or that you are having a harder time making modifications. On the flipside, maybe you'll disagree with that entirely. The bottomline is that if you look @ Flex as a technology,

We never found one. The SWF's are cached by the Filter in memory. In theory a hotswap reload of the web app should do it, but would then cause a pretty hefty leak, since thats how most containers do hotswapping, is they leak that ClassLoader. -- Dave Wolf Cynergy Systems, Inc. Macromedia Flex
