 Hey Allandt,
 I posted a while ago on my blog about Flash vs Flex in regards to widget
 development.

 http://blog.natebeck.net/2009/01/widget-development-on-the-flash-platform/

 It's not a
 comprehensive list of pros and cons for each... but it might give you
 some ideas.

 Cheers,
 Nate

  We are looking at it in our studio and, while we can certainly see the

  I'd really appreciate any input you might have or be able to point me to
 
  thanks a lot
