[flexcoders] Re: Flex Application Size = 71KB

William hit the nail directly on the head by what he said. Simple ,
light applications should be built in Flash, while more complex
applications should be created in Flex. Tom, you also have a point and
it ties into what William had mentioned earlier. Flex is not the end
all to every web application, but it is a great tool for those complex
appz that need to be done quickly. Thanks guys for bringing me back to
the light. The dark side almost had me there for a minute and I
would've been lost forever. And if you can take the coin from my hand
before I can close it...sorry...flash backs :-)

  Why can't I get it down to at least 45KB empty??
 
 Who cares what the empty size is ?
 
  Will someone please remind me why Flex is so great again??
 
 Fine, you build a DataGrid etc. in Flash :-)

And to be clear, because people often muddy this, there's Flex the
Framework and there's Flex the Compiler (or mxmlc, or the AS3
compiler, or whatever), and then there's the Flash IDE (and then
there's Flex (Builder) the IDE).

Simple, light applications can most certainly be built with Flex (as
in Flex Builder or the Flex compiler, mxmlc), just make an AS3-only
project. This would be identical to Flash CS3.

The mxmlc compiler is a great option for those on a shoestring budget:
it's free and doesn't require that you have Flash or Flex Builder.
