Pretty much. It's a font end / remote interface to X (X being Java, CF, ASP, etc.... heck, flat files even). I think. I may be mixing openlaszlo in there too, but close enough, I figure. It's an interface above all else. Is it possible to use Flex on its own, without CF? Yuppers. The main benefit to CF integration is the RDS stuff, auto-generation of DAOs and whatnot, I feel. Ready made tools, if you will, vs. self rolled. Apparently, the Adobe site makes no mention of CF in the Flex sales > material. Maybe someone could explain a little further? They want to target more than just CF. And with a IDE like FB2, I mean, wow, that's nice. CF is mentioned, but downplayed, if I recall (which I might not- I peruse a volume of info, and it bleeds a bit, so...). But basicly yes, Flex is an interface to/for many things, not just CF. ** Those wizards look pretty amazing though- many thx to the creators of those instructional videos! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:245626 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=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
