RE: [DFW CFUG] FLEX

[Tom Woestman]

Robert,   First on caveat – I would say I have a semi-expert opinion in this area.   While I really like Flex, if a significant part of your target audience cannot use it I would suggest at a minimum that you develop the Flex functionality in AJAX as well as Flex and give your users a choice as to which to use.  You could then watch your hit stats and when most of your users are using the Flex version you could phase out the AJAX version.  I know this is a lot of work, but any solution that misses a serious portion of the target audience is not a good solution in most cases.  Of course, if you do not have the development resources available for the dual approach you might be stuck with AJAX for a while.   Tom   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Shaw Sent: Monday, July 17, 2006 10:41 AM To: Dallas/Fort Worth ColdFusion User Group Mailing List Subject: [DFW CFUG] FLEX   A lot to ask in this email, but I really just want some opinions.   We are developing (infant stages) a new commercial web site. This site was made for FLEX because of the categories. records, sub records and sub records of sub-records. The drill down using FLEX will be way above what is out there now.    Question I have is, Flex requires Flash Player 9 and this site will be launched in September. A high number of users will be universities that do not readily allow updates to their computers. In you guys EXPERT opinions, do you think using FLEX will hurt or help the site.   Robert
