No, it isn't about being ashamed. Given the kinds of people I met at the one ApacheCon I went to, I biased this presentation towards folks who don't know Flex, AS, MXML, and Flash. > > > >FlexJS.pdf: >I think there is a major problem with these slides, starting from page 1: >"Flex without Flash" >"Flash based solutions no longer desirable". >Etc.. > >For many people people Flex == Flash.

Hmm. I think the whole point of FlexJS is to create a framework that runs without Flash and a key factor is the impact from decisions and statements made by Jobs and Adobe. Are you saying that enough time has passed that these decisions and statements are no longer a factor? I'm not hearing that. Folks still seem to want to make sure their future isn't tied to Flash. But I probably don't talk to as many customers as you might. -Alex
