Luckily, I have always dropped the idea of using Flash before any work had to be wasted. I know, the cynic again, but I am just summing up what I have personally found when you start to go down the Flash road (look above to the comments you have made). > Honestly, spend the $8 and try out FLEX atleast. A Dashboard setup is > the "PERFECT" ideal solution to use FLEX. Although, if you look at my response to Geoff's post, you will see that what we want is a multitude of small Flash applets that plug into FarCry containers and rules. We dont want to replace the whole dashboard area with a Flash application. > If it was a cheap ass price, as we expected it to be, you would of been > drooling over the fact that FLEX would of allowed you to do this Yep. > No you wouldn't, while you can go deeper with AS2.0, you can get away > with tonnes more via tags. However, if the rest of the hype about building reusable objects in Flash is to be believed, I *should* be able to build (or buy) components that do all the fancy look and feel stuff for me. Or I build it once and don't worry after. And, I think you said in an earlier post that while FLEX can be tailored that there is a learning path to do that as well. It's a lose/lose situation. > Personally, if you have a development team larger then 2! Yes and probably growing. > actually own all the license copies of your software Yes (in fact probably more than we use). > host very big > websites and furthermore your not a webdevelopment agency "very big" is probably subjective - but it's not small.

XMLSockets work just as good as FSC but not as > uber goood as FCS :D Probably why we have not committed to the technology wholesale (as well as the Flash learning curce).
