Ajax is great for certain situations. Its only another "technology" at a developers disposal. Using Flex2.0+Ajax is terribly simple and will provide some pretty sweet apps, if folks use it right. CF isn't always the best fit for a job (don't shoot...just being real) but, IMO, its more suited for most jobs than PHP. The beautiful part of (swf) [Flex or Flash] vs Ajax is they aren't really against each other. They both serve different purposes and, IMO, only cross paths in the area of interface functionality (one-screen apps). So, as with other technologies...take doses as needed. :-) On 10/24/05, dave <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > i know its stupid!
