Well,
unfortunately, this client (the U.S. Navy) has a “gold disk” (NMCI)
of approved players. The Flash player 7 is approved, but it would be a very
very long time before the 8.5 player is put on the gold disk. The rate of
acceptance of players is far beyond the timeline for this project. So, no,
Flexbuilder 2 won’t be a viable option unless when it comes out it can
magically export to Flash 7. So, I *could* recommend they buy Flex 1.5 server,
and I also buy it as a developer, and then deploy to one of there servers
(which would not be running Flex, but would have a license) Right? Jason

From: I can't answer the licensing
questions, but I would question what the future of this app is. I know
this is hard without fully knowing what Enterprise Services 2 have to offer,
but based on what you know, could you post-pone the project until Flex Builder
2 comes out? The price difference could be key in some situations.. that
is, unless you really see a need for Enterprise Services (which again is tough without
having full disclosure on their features). ----- Original Message ----- From: Merrill,

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? Jason

From: 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. Phil Costa Sr. Product Manager, Macromedia From: 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: http://cmt.icfconsulting.com/temp/navyHRPortal_2.jpg 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 Thanks, Jason
