Been using Flash now for many years to create online games, CDROMs and websites. I have always used the Flash program itself to create all my content because that was the only option I had available to me (with the exception of creating swfs in illustrator and the adobe flash program (whatever it was called))
Anyway I see alot of talk about some program called "Flex" that seems to be something to do with Flash development. I have obviously had my head in the sand as it appears to have just appeared out of nowhere and everyone seems pretty clued up on it. So I am asking for a simple decription of what Flex is and for what sort of content I should be using it for and why. I am not that familiar with the terms RIA or IDE so please keep the explanation in laymans terms. I am about to begin developing a large website in Flash and was planning on just making it in Flash 8 in the way I normally create Flash stuff. If there is a better way to do things using a different application then I would really like to know. If there is a different list that would be more appropriate to my question then please let me know. Thanks in advance.
