Yes - good point but I should have been clearer. I was thinking about my experience with PowerBuilder and VB type application with direct DB connection being held open.
There are many examples of connecting to get data for Flex but because of the sandbox of the browser we can't (easily) directly connect to the database. Flex can be thought of N-tier because to get to the database you will normally use an application server.
