With Flex 2.0, there is no need for a server, the swf's can be deployed
in the same way as Flash swf's. Adobe are even going to release a
command line compiler if you dont want to pay the (rumoured) $1000 for
Flex Builder 2.0.

Hi,
I've been too busy developping in Flash lately to give a try to the new Flex
yet, so excuse me if the following question sounds stupid:
Flex use to be a server product, but with the new Flex Builder can you
simply build a swf file like you do with flash and include it in regular
html page? (and therefore php,etc...)
Or do you absolutely need to have a specific Flex server of some sort
running in order to deliver those files?
Thank you,
Frank

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Flex vs. Flash IDE
The other issue i see with flex is it's ability to scale. It doesn't
seem to have the ability to handle a ton of simultaneous connections
very well, ala Flash Media Server. Perhaps I'm off base here, but I'd
prefer to develop the front ends in flash and communicate back and
forth with a traditional back-end I.E. ASP, PHP, etc. Those things are
free to develop on, more prove and seemingly scale a hell of a lot better.
Yes, it's not as simple as an "EASY" button, but if work was easy it'd be
fun and we'd all be broke.
Have you looked into FDS?

When you say: develop the front ends in flash You mean the Flash IDE?
What makes you think developing in Flex does not allow you to communicate
with any traditional back-end?
Flex Builder is just an IDE. The end result is an swf the same as with the
Flash IDE. It's just that an swf published from Flash is currently a
different version.

Muzak
