Hey Everybody, Is it safe to say that, because Flex requires a server in the middle (to process the .mxml files), that Flex is simply an unrealistic solution if your end goal is to deliver portable applications that can be self contained? In addition to that statement: Is this why Flash (versus

Early on though, I thought there some legalities surrounding the pre-compiling of SWF's via Flex, and then distributing them in their singular state. Things have changed quite a bit between Flex 1.x and Flex 2 (which is of course still in beta). With Flex 2, you can distribute

Other than Flex 2.0 being more advanced than 1.5, what are the major differences between the 2? By default, compilation is done on the developer's workstation, not on a server. By default, you can build Flex 2 applications without any server component; they can talk to a server using web

If I hear you correctly then, there is NO Data functionality built into the BASIC Flex 2.0 Architecture? For a SWF file to have the ability to Send/Receive Data to a Server (whichever flavor that may be), a type of connector must be purchased beforehand, in order for that functionality
