great review I will use it from here .... 2006/5/25, Jim Robson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I spent some time evaluating OpenLaszlo for my employer, and it's very nice. We nearly chose it over Flex. However, Flex turned out to be the winner for us. Here are some of the reasons: - Flex has native XML socket server support - Flex supports SOAP in compiled SWF deployments (Laszlo only supports it if you use the server component) - The Flex IDE has a traditional debugger built in - The Flex IDE is more powerful and mature than the Laszlo IDE (even though it's still in Beta, it blows the Laszlo eclipse plugin away) - Flex has a much larger and more active developer community - Adobe is a well-known name, and brings a certain comfort level to clients and prospective clients - Flex supports SVG - FA Bridge - ActionScript 3.0 is preferable to JavaScript -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jcanistrum Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 12:31 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Flex vs. Flash IDE and what about OpenLaszlo, has someone given it a try ?
