That FAQ really only applies to Flex 1.5. No server is required with 2.x if you do not use FDS. You can access webservices directly from a Flex client subject to crossdomain security policy. i.e., the server from whom you are requesting the resource must have a crossdomain.xml file that gives you permission to access it.
If this is not possible, then you need to proxy the web service requests trhough some server-side technology.

On http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flexfaq.html#itemA-22 <http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flexfaq.html#itemA-22> they talk about the Flex Server. Does "Flex Server" mean "Flex Data Services"? Background is, I want to develop an application in Flex that doesn't use Flex Data Services. I want to develop it locally and place them on a free webservers without any Flex Server running. The application uses webservices. Is this possible, or do I also need a webserver running a "Flex Server" if I don't use any Flex Data Services?? Thanks, Mane
