RE: [flexcoders] My Flex Site Mockup - considerations?
Technically, you can deploy SWFs created with 1.5 on a server that is not running the Flex server. From a licensing standpoint, however, the client would have to buy a license to Flex for each CPU you deploy to. As you know, that is changing in Flex 2, but it's not retroactive.

Re: [flexcoders] My Flex Site Mockup - considerations?
Jason, in reference to the design you might want to look at moving the icons inside of the button. This would replace print with the printer icon so your buttons will read [icon] summary and [icon] article or maybe nix article all together and just have the printer icon. The same goes for the add/remove. Not sure if you were looking for critiques or not.

RE: [flexcoders] My Flex Site Mockup - considerations?
So, if I had my client buy one license of Flex, they could do that, and not have to install it and I could send them my .swf files I create with my license, and all is honky dory? So, no technical issues just license agreement issues, correct? Assuming the licensing is worked out, its then just a matter of moving the resulting .swf files, right?

Re: [flexcoders] My Flex Site Mockup - considerations?
1. Yep. 2. As Tracy Phillip have said, nope, it's against the EULA to have a Flex generated SWF not on the same box that has the Flex server installed. Additionally, you could do all of that in Flash, but I wouldn't code it. AJAX?

Re: [flexcoders] My Flex Site Mockup - considerations?
I can't answer the licensing questions, but I would question what the future of this app is. I know this is hard without fully knowing what Enterprise Services 2 have to offer, but based on what you know, could you post-pone the project until Flex Builder 2 comes out?

RE: [flexcoders] My Flex Site Mockup - considerations?
Well, unfortunately, this client (the U.S. Navy) has a gold disk (NMCI) of approved players. The Flash player 7 is approved, but it would be a very very long time before the 8.5 player is put on the gold disk. The rate of acceptance of players is far beyond the timeline for this project. So, no, Flexbuilder 2 wont be a viable option unless when it comes out it can magically export to Flash 7. So, I *could* recommend they buy Flex 1.5 server, and I also buy it as a developer, and then deploy to one of there servers (which would not be running Flex, but would have a license) Right?

RE: [flexcoders] My Flex Site Mockup - considerations?
Thanks. So could someone confirm my reasoning on building an app for Flash 7, having to buy two licenses. Do I really need two licenses? One for development at my company and one for deployment on my clients server? So I have to recommend purchasing two expensive Flex 1.5 licenses to deploy .swfs only, not a server - vs. someday this spring (maybe) a much less expensive Flexbuilder 2 license for under $1000 though I cant use that. Hmmm, I wonder if Macromedia will drop the price of Flex server 1.5 when Flexbuilder 2 is released? By the way, Macromedia if you are still listening, I tried calling Macromedias sales line three times to get pricing information on Flex for government agencies, went through the touch tone menus and was hung up on twice before trying a third time and getting some random sales dudes voice mail. Not impressive. Jason Merrill | E-Learning Solutions | icfconsulting.com NOTICE: This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged or confidential information.

RE: [flexcoders] My Flex Site Mockup - considerations?
Ive passed on a request to our internal sales alias to contact you. Hopefully when they get back to you they can help you work through all these questions.

Thanks. So could someone confirm my reasoning on building an app for Flash 7, having to buy two licenses. Do I really need two licenses? One for development at my company and one for deployment on my clients server? So I have to recommend purchasing two expensive Flex 1.5 licenses to deploy .swfs only, not a server - vs. someday this spring (maybe) a much less expensive Flexbuilder 2 license for under $1000 though I cant use that. Hmmm, I wonder if Macromedia will drop the price of Flex server 1.5 when Flexbuilder 2 is released? By the way, Macromedia if you are still listening, I tried calling Macromedias sales line three times to get pricing information on Flex for government agencies, went through the touch tone menus and was hung up on twice before trying a third time and getting some random sales dudes voice mail.

Re: [flexcoders] My Flex Site Mockup - considerations?
Why not just set up a development server that could be used as the final production server as well, and develop your code on it? Then you buy one license and use it for development and deployment. You could still just deploy the SWFs. Just develop on the client's servers to begin with. Build a homebrew PC and work on it, then ship it off to them when you're done? Any obvious problems with this reasoning? Cheers On 11/17/05, Matt Chotin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've passed on a request to our internal sales alias to contact you.

Any obvious problems with this reasoning? Well, yes, actually. Thanks, I had thought of that for a quarter second, but this client the U.S. Navy. No way in h-e double-hockey-sticks theyre gonna let me go in and actually *develop* on their servers. This isnt a small hometown bakery who wants a web page. Thanks anyway. I explained this to a govt. sales rep Macromedia, they think they can work out some kind of licensing so I can develop in one place, deploy on another.
