Im a little confused about whatit
is theyre offering. Are they developing an application for youin Flex?
Nowhere on their site do they actually use the words Macromedia Flex when
talking about the applications theyre buildingit appears oncein
one of their QuickTime slides as an image plucked from the Macromedia website
and thats itthey reference ActionScript and MXML but never Flex,
but its clearly what theyre using in their RIA examples they have
on their site, yet all their examples in their slides show a Swing-like
application. Very confusing. What is the trial application you download from
them? How they charge so cheaply for a Flex-built application? It was my
understanding you have to own a license per application if youre a
contracting company that builds these Flex apps for your customers

Basically, what they offer is a solution that automates the process of 
mapping an existingER model to Java classes, AS classes and all the stuff 
needed to do create, retrieve, update and delete operations on your data. The 
Swing-like app you mention is a standalone tool that does all the magic 
(creating MXML, AS and Java files from model files) plus it provides a WYSIWYG 
editor that allows to create Flex application by drag  drop operations 
(i.e. mapping some server side data object to a data grid). 

I 
haven't used it yet but they showcasedtheir product to us some days 
ago.

Hi,We were searching for an easy to use tool for Flex 
tointegrate 
ourcustomers databases into a 
Flex application. Besidethe fact 
that ourcustomer is not very IT 
experienced we searched for aproduct which does notrequire much IT expierence on our side 
either.What we found is 
Force4 on www.more4flex.com whichcompletly satisfies ourrequirements. It seems to be very new and we had 
ourfirst tests with a 
BetaVersion which already run 
stable. Now the finalversion is 
available andthey have improved a 
lot (and also changed a lot :)compared to the betaVersion.Does someone else has heard of this product or has 
anyexpierence with 
it?Best 
regardsPeterAdelconsult AB, Sweden
