> dashboard "thingies" but leverage the investment in FarCry as well.This is why Flex is a compelling product for large scale RIA development. And a *very* cost effective solution for the right portfolio of projects.
But I want to build my dashboard using FarCry rules with little Flash applets in the display methods. That way I can have fancy looking
I don't see what we want to do as "large scale RIA development". It's just lots of little Flash applets that can talk together. And, ideally, the backend technology that hooks them all up would be FCS (and we only want it for the shared data - and not for it's media server ability) - and if I could avoid using the Flash IDE and just code up the applets using FLEX it would be good. But the cost of the server should be more reasonable. As a few others have suggested - price it similar to Cold Fusion.
I think that is all we are saying.
Then Flex would *not* be the product for your team in any event -- regardless of its price. It's pitched at building comprehensive RIA applications. And not a series of smaller Flashlet style tools.
Flash IDE on the other hand is purrrfect for that type of development because you're really only likely to have one or two people at best building the Flashlet. And each mini-app is something that is readily maintainable.
