With the Flash stage, you can have it dynamically layout and resize your stage using a Listener. The Flash stage is as flexible with size as a regular page... it just takes a bit of extra effort to achieve the exact same capabilities.

Also correct me if I'm wrong but Flex since it uses Flash Player the stage can't be set dynamically. If I build a dynamic form or page or menu system that varies in size I would have to plan out the stage size ahead of time. That's not dynamic. I hope I'm wrong on this. Well, you could try my approach and play with both. I'm still only a little beyond the "hello world" stage so I am not an expert on either. But I will chime in that you can dynamically change the size of "stage" (It's not called that in the flex world, but the concept is the same). You can create states and each state can be a different size with various transition effects involved. Also, if you do not need the "flex enterprise service [FES]" as it is currently called, you can deploy a flex app to any service. Once you are done and the app is compiled, it is a .swf file that can be put anywhere a ..swf can currently go. Without the FES piece, you are not able to PUSH data from the server to the client, but you can PULL all you want. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA --------- | 1 | | --------- Binary Soduko | | | --------- "C code.
