Hey All, great discussion. I'm an evangelist at Adobe so I'm not unbiased but I wanted to chime in on a couple of things. Especially with Flex we've really tried to make SWF in general more web-like. So some of the issues below, like back button and custom URLs are fully possible in Flex. It's a bit more work but I don't think it's a lot of extra work over an Ajax application.
I saw another question about accessibility and all of the Flex components are accessible out of the box. Currently they work with JAWS on Windows and we're working on Mac support as well. So instead of having to create your own accessible components as you would with Flash, you can use the Flex Framework components and get some of those tasks for "free". I'd love to answer any other questions. I'm about to dive into the rest of the thread about Thermo so I may have more responses. =Ryan Stewart [EMAIL PROTECTED] RIA Evangelist Adobe Systems -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jose E.

I Guess the main issues with Flash/Flex is the addressing issues that are common stuff when using standard XHTML/CSS like the back button, custom urls and other trivialities. But for great interaction and immersive experiences you have to use Flash, also to integrate video Flash is the de facto standard. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
