Obviously this may sound harsh, but because the app you wrote
was buggier or harder to build isn't a reflection of the
technology in my opinion.
It is to me. There are a lot of things you can do with Flex in a day
that would take weeks to do in straight Flash/Actionscript. This is a
would say it's far from being an advantage of Flex itself, but more of
the component library with MXML representation. The same thing can be
done in Flash/ActionScript2. For instance the people of the ActionStep
project worked on such an XML representation that could instanciate the
UI.

The other issue i see with flex is it's ability to scale. It doesn't
seem to have the ability to handle a ton of simultaneous connections very
well, ala Flash Media Server. Perhaps I'm off base

handles the low level connections, so it is the same regsardless of

Flex to me has seemed to discredit a lot of the flash developers
out there buy putting advanced functionality at the finger tips
of the average user.
This is the nature of programming; what was once difficult becomes simple,

Hello all,
So what are the opinions regarding Flex vs. Flash IDE? Which do you guys
prefer, and why?
I've been looking into Flex 2.0, and so far I like what I'm seeing. But
I'd love to hear some opinions from this list. :-)

This may be a dumb question, but has anyone ever developed a project in
Flex and towards the end decided that Flash would have been a better
tool for the project? Or vice-a-versa?
If so, why? I'm trying to determine if there are any pitfalls of
deciding to use Flex over Flash for larger
Haven´t used Flex Builder yet, but I must say I´m quite satisfied with the

I hear what you're saying. It is frustrating to have to shell out money
for two different products.
Here's the history. The Flash IDE has had numerous workflow problems,
intrinsic problems and limitations in the language (prototype based),
