Jack, You compile the SWF on a server with Flex install. Then copy the generated SWF over to your web server and embed it in a web page.
The difference is that you don't need a Java Application Server running. i.e. more system resources I'm not positive, but I think you need special licensing permission from MM to deploy a Flex app without the server.

I read Ted's post. His production server does not have Flex. Where is the SWF being served from? Forgive my ignorance, but if you need a flex license for every server the SWF sits on, what's the difference? Can you elaborate further? Thanks again, Jack --- In [email protected], "Darron J.
