IMO, web services should be the last option to use as a data transport. All the added soap 'tags' make it quite slow when large sets of data are passed back and forth. In all honesty, Adobe cant do anything about this since its the soap protocol that makes it slow. Since remoting and FDS both use a binary format(very small foot print), it should be what Adobe pushes since its the most efficient mode of data transport.
The IDE could be better, but it is already much better than what we had in the 1.0 & 1.5 days. I agree, the documention could be better. The use of shared objects is perfect what you are asking. On 17 Apr 2007 19:54:54 -0700, Jim Grinsfelder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I hope it spurs Adobe to improve Flex/Flash. I'm a recent Flex developer but I like what I've been able to do with Flex in the last 4 weeks. Here's where I think Flex (or my understanding of Flex) could improve: 1. A stronger IDE. I've used Visual Studio and it clearly beats Eclipse. 2. Stronger/clearer integration with .NET web services? I'm using them now and it's ok, but figuring it out wasn't nearly as easy as the Flex Data Services. Adobe's only hurting Flex by deprecating the other back-end options in the documentation in favor of their own. 3. I'd really like to see the tools and/or documentation provide stronger support for modular team-based coding. 4. Stronger support for re-hydrating an application so it doesn't lose state when a user surfs to another page in a multi-page site and then returns to the page with the embedded Flex application. ------------------------------ *From:* [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *Andrew Muller *Sent:* Monday, April 16, 2007 8:15 PM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* Re: [flexcoders] Will Microsoft's new Silverlight Player Kill our beloved Flex ?
