Neither. CFML and MXML are languages used to CREATE presentation layers. HTML and SWF movies are the "presentation layer", not the languages used to generate them. Especially since the CFML runs on the server, not on the client. Maybe this is a better analogy... What AJAX does for HTML, Flex does for Flash.. maybe that's closer. Except most of what you could do in Flex could be done in the Flash Authoring environment. Which is where Flex Builder comes in... Flex Builder is really just an IDE that makes it easier to develop RIAs... anyone who has tried to build an RIA of any size using the Flash authoring environment knows that it's a kludge. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/message.cfm/forumid:4/messageid:245664 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
