RE: [flexcoders] Adobe Flex? What does this mean to us... ?

[Shell Bryson]

Could mean several things. Adobe already have a huge investment in SVG, so the worst-case would be Flash and Flex being canned. More likely is that Adobe will work on a tool to replace Flash that compliments their existing suite of applications.   Almost definitely means the end of Freehand (Adobe will never drop Illustrator as it’s one of their flagships), and I imagine GoLive will be dropped and replaced with DreamWeaver? Who knows. Flash, Director and DreamWeaver seem to be Macromedia’s strong products – everything else is not really something that directly compliments Adobe’s existing portfolio and could easily end up being sacrificed. :/   On the other hand, Adobe lack anything on the server side of the multimedia market. By grabbing Macromedia they now have all the ColdFusion stuff to play with, so perhaps this is a way for them to expand their market beyond purely the creative side of things? That would justify Flex as well.   S.   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Clint Modien Sent: 18 April 2005 15:49 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Adobe Flex?
