Hi, In Flex Builder 2, you can write AS only projects and connect to anything you want :)
In the Flex framework itself, Flex framework 2.0 will not support older AMF. However, you can also always write your own extensions to the framework and I am not aware of any reason you couldn't write a connector for the older AMF. (I am not the expert here.) -David > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of hank williams > Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2005 8:17 AM > To: Flashcoders mailing list > Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Macromedia unveiling Flex > 2andFlash9:communicationor cacophony ? > > David, > > I just have one question.
