2. What skills beyond CF are required? I would like to point out that you DON'T need to know CF to make Flex apps. Flex is a language all its own. You write mxml in some sort of editor, be it notepad or Flex builder. Then you compile that to a stand-alone swf. You don't have to have ANY server side language to use Flex (standard edition).
4. Any special server site apps that need to be installed? NO. NOW, that being said-- If you wish you use flash remoting in your Flex app to retrieve data from a server-side database then you will need some cgi language. This can be php, CF etc. Now it just to happens that CF is a VERY handy compliment to Flex. Also here is the other wrinkle: There are two versions of Flex. Standard (which applies to my previous comments) and Enterprise (which will break your bank). Flex Enterprise facilitates some kick-butt messaging functionality AND requires an install on the server for the client Flex app to connect to. Hope that makes sense... :) ~Brad ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:268907 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
