Nope. http://dev.jessewarden.com/captivate/flexonthedesktop/
The only reason Flex 2 isn't realistic for creating desktop applications currently is: - it's in beta - mProjector, SWFStudio, Zinc, and Screenweaver haven't made a wrapper for Flash Player 8.5 yet Keep in mind, Flex 2 will create Flash Player 8.5 SWF's; you'll have to wait almost another year before Flash 9 is released so you can do so. Granted, an alpha will be out soon, but people generally do not deliver applications to clients using alpha software. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Anderson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Flashcoders mailing list" <flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2006 12:54 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] Flex Apps versus Flash Projector apps Hey Everybody, Is it safe to say that, because Flex requires a server in the middle (to process the .mxml files), that Flex is simply an unrealistic solution if your end goal is to deliver "portable applications" that can be self contained? In addition to that statement: Is this why Flash (versus Flex) will have a much longer shelf-life now, because Flash combined with Zinc (or some other projector packager) is still the only way to allow users to use your Flash applications in a "standalone manner", without requiring an HTML container? I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic.
