Flash Forms were not meant to be a center showcase of an application.  They
are helpful and have great features that Flex natively has.

They are meant to augment a site and not replace major functional pieces.
They are a elegant solution soemtimes and very aesthetic, but again a small
tool currently.

If you are building something robust and you liked the Flash Form interface,
Flex is the ideal solution as the limitations put on Flash Forms do not
apply to Flex compiled SWFs.

You don't have to have Flex Builder to program in Flex 2.0.  The SDK is
free.  Flex has the same limitations of Flash in many ways as you have to be
careful of how much media you plan to embed before the first movie clip is
executed.  This will add to the download upfront.

Being disgrunteld at other developers for suggesting Flex will not help the
situation.  We are looking from the outside and only have privy to the
information that you have provided to us.

None of my peers around me have argued against the logic, "If you outgrow
Flash Forms, seek a more robust solution like Flex or AJAX."

Flex is not the solution for everything.  It is a recent discussion piece
that knowing when to use an HTML returned template with AJAX versus a Flash
movie with Flex.

Posting to this list is like asking several people to comment on what you
are doing right or wrong.  The answers are not always what you want to hear,
but at least you can derive a consensus or perhaps a different perception of
the same problem.

Sorry you had to deal with the growing pains Jacob.

Cheers,
Teddy
