absolutely! soon as mm lets hms run it on the server which was supposed to have already happen, lets go!
until then.... first of all, how can you reall even compare dhtml to flex? they are totally different. I have seen this guy build an app in dhtml that really did look like flash but he also admitted it took him bout 10x as long to do it, he just wanted to see if he could. amazing piece of work but come on now. Lcant recall dhtml being able to consume web services either. go here and try out the flex store http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flex/example_apps.html i did that tut in less that 30 minutes, lets see anyone on here do that in dhtml in 30 minutes, hell, lets see them do that in 30 hours! just download the dev edition of flex and flex builder and a couple of the example apps, and take a few minutes and try it, especially if you are afraid of flash, you wont belief what u can do look at this code, its from MM getting started with flex (first app) im mxml <?xml version="1.0"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; > <!-- data model --> <mx:Array id="coffeeArray"> <mx:Object> <label>Red Sea</label> <data>Smooth and fragrant</data> </mx:Object> <mx:Object> <label>Andes</label> <data>Rich and pungent</data> </mx:Object> <mx:Object> <label>Blue Mountain</label> <data>Delicate and refined</data> </mx:Object> </mx:Array> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ function addToCart():Void { cart.addItem(coffeeCombo.selectedItem.label,coffeeCombo.selectedItem.data); } ]]> </mx:Script> <!-- view --> <mx:Panel title="My First Flex App"> <mx:Label text="Coffee Blends"/> <mx:ComboBox id="coffeeCombo" dataProvider="{coffeeArray}"/> <mx:Text text="Description: {coffeeCombo.selectedItem.data}"/> <mx:Button label="Add to Cart" click="addToCart()"/> <mx:List id="cart"/> </mx:Panel> </mx:Application> you wont believe your eyes at what that code right there will do! lets see the other person put their money where their mouth is and see the code in dhtml that would be required to make that samething heres the link http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flex/articles/first_flexapp.html i'd sure like to see the shopping cart in dhtml made in 30 minutes! i would take back my comment if they can build that shopping cart in not even 30 minutes, i'll give them a day ---------------------------------------- From: "Bryan Stevenson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 11, 2005 7:14 PM To: CF-Talk <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Flex Hey Dave, I'd love to see you put your money where your mouth is (not doubting you...just want to see examples of how much better it is)!! ;-) Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
