BS> I have a Flex question. I have been considering FLEX 2.0, but when BS> I spoke with the guy at Adobe, the first thing he told me was that BS> FLEX could not consume web services without Flex Data Services and BS> the price he quoted me for the Departmental License was (well, BS> lets not say). BS> Is this true, or can FLEX consume a web serivce but with BS> limiations? By limitations, for example, not being able to consume BS> a .Net dataset directly - needing to pass the data into an array. Flex applications are able to use web services, as any Flash application can use them. See the docs for details: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/00001095.html Flex Data Services is a big addition of course, but it is not always required - if the simple request-response method is enough for you and don't need proxying or other sophisticated server-side things, then you can go without FDS. And even if you need it, the single-CPU Flex Data Services 2 Express Edition is totally free.
