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: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com
[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
