Yes, and no.
All code that is needed to talk to the back-end is
compiled into the SWF.
However, certain things could cause it not to
work:
- if the SWF is run from a different domain,
security restrictions prevent it from working
- if your back-end requires HTTPS
authentication
- if your back-end does checks to see the referrer,
true domain, a session ID needed for a webservice call beyond a simple login, or
any other check to determine the SWF, and tells the SWF to piss off
- your keep timeouts on, and the SWF times out,
rendering it useless (unless someone has a SWF decompiler and removes the
check)

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Questions, Questions JesterXL, Could you please expand
on your statement? I am trying to create
an app that uses web services to manage data. Are you saying it is
possible to compile this app into a SWF, give it to �Joe Blow�, and the app will
run without issues? All they would need is the Flash
player? ~David

To clarify, you don't need Flex
server to communicate with back-end data

[flexcoders] Questions, Questions The SWF can still hit your backend
without issue as long as it's deployed from the same domain. You don't
need Flex server to ensure that. ----- Original Message -----

[flexcoders] Questions, Questions Yes, you can compile
to SWF (and SWC), but any data services will require the Flex back-end to
communicate with. Regarding pricing, 12K
is just the list price. Contact the OEM/ISV sales
group. From: [email protected]
[mailto: Rick, Just to
clarify� You can NOT compile
Flex into a SWF? And� Any business my company
wants to sell this application to needs to spend 12K before they can run a Flex
application? ~David
T. From:
David: Yes, Flex needs Flex
to run <g>. Call Macromedia�s
OEM/ISV sales organization and talk with them about your needs and pricing
constraints. They seem very flexible and willing to accommodate unique
usage scenarios compared to other OEM�s I�ve worked
with.

Hello
Everyone, I want to thank everyone who has
taken the time to answer my questions about Flex. Most were basic, new
user questions, and I really appreciate all the
help. I have been researching Flex for
an application my company wants to build and I we have come across a point of
contention � price. My company now wants this application to be
independent instead of integrated into a bigger solution, and the idea of
hosting is going out the window. So� I have 2 starter
questions�
Thanks, David
