Hi Aaron, I've only skimmed the Flex product page, but . . .
I think the point he is making is that Flex builder is no longer required to build Flex apps. From what I understand it's a RAD IDE for more quickly creating flex apps, but flex uses XML to describe UI components and ActionScript to make them do things, so you can now write Flex apps in Notepad if you so desire. You then use command line tools to compile to executable swf's. He's also making the point you don't even need CF for the back end.

If you mean to say that I don't have to use CF or Flex to build RIA's in general, then you completely missed the intent of my question. Yes, of coarse you could use AJAX, but that's not what I am asking. What I would like to know is if Flex is now built into ColdFusion so that instead of buying ColdFusion and buying Flex, all we have to do is buy and install ColdFusion 7.0.1 with the connectivity beta? Does this connectivity beta elimate the need to buy Flex Server to deploy Flex applications if CF is installed on the box? -Aaron ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:230995 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
