Flex is ONLY client-side. It must communicate with a server via AMF (Flash Remoting), web services, or via HTTP (typically to get XML data) to do anything like save data to a central database.
It absolutely does NOT replace HTML or JavaScript. Flex is meant for applications like online stores or reservation systems. If one needs a "normal" content-based web site it will almost certainly be overkill to use Flex for that.
