RE: [flexcoders] My Flex Site Mockup - considerations?

So, if I had my client buy one license of Flex, they could do that, and not have to install it – and I could send them my .swf files I create with my license, and all is honky dory?  So, no technical issues – just license agreement issues, correct?  Assuming the licensing is worked out, its then just a matter of moving the resulting .swf files, right?

Technically, you can deploy SWFs created with 1.5 on a server that is not running the Flex server. From a licensing standpoint, however, the client would have to buy a license to Flex for each CPU you deploy to. As you know, that is changing in Flex 2, but it's not retroactive.

Subject: [flexcoders] My Flex Site Mockup - considerations?

I’m a Flash IDE guy and have only produced simple apps with the Flexbuilder 2 Alpha which use XML.  Anyhoo, I have 2 questions.  I have created a site mockup of a Flex app in Photoshop for one of my clients.  See it here:

Question 1: The client can only run Flash player 7, so knowing that and what I have mocked up, would you look at the following screenshot and tell me if everthing I am proposing in this graphic is possible in Flex 1.5 (obviously assuming we will have easy access to the data etc.) – including embedding the graphics and fonts in the tabs. I have played with Flexbuilder 2 and the 8.5 player, but not Flex 1.5. 

 

Question 2:  I probably already know the answer, but can you run Flex 1.5 on a server in one place (say here, on the development side), produce the necessary .swfs, and then take the .swfs to another server that does not have the Flex server to deploy the app?  Or are the .swfs strictly built at runtime?  Or are there legal considerations for that?  This isn’t a requirement, but it would be nice to only have to buy Flex 1.5 server here, and give our clients the .swfs instead of telling them they need to also buy the Flex server to run this.  I am guessing though, that the Flex server and the Flex app have to be on the same machine. Right?  If so, I guess what are my options for something *kinda* like this – realistically – the Flash IDE or AJAX?    If Flash 8.5 were an option, I would hold out for Flexbuilder 2, but it’s not with them since they can only run the Flash 7 player. 

 

Thanks,
