RE: [flexcoders] porting tool
Right now you can develop Flex 2 apps with webservices or remote objects totally free. I doubt this will ever change in the future. I also doubt that Laszlo will be a serious alternative to Flex for a while. As far as RTL, don't know what to tell you there. --Kelly _ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of pateyog Sent: Monday, December 11, 2006 6:29 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] porting tool We have recently evaluated Flex 2 for our next generation product.

It'd be difficult for them to delete everyones copy of the SDK, and look bad if they changed the player such that it wouldn't compile 'home brew' code.

Well, it has some features (like compiling to DHTML and Flash from the same source) that may make it attractive. -- Tom Chiverton Helping to efficiently exploit sexy e-commerce This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.

RE: [flexcoders] porting tool
Adobe had to change quite a bit from 1.5 to 2.0 in order to make a great leap forward in performance and available features. It had to be done. As for Lazlo, never used it, just checked it out once upon a time. What I can say is at this point Lazlo doesn't even come close to having the features that Flex 2.0 gives you. Flex 2.0 has many useful enterprise features (FDS) that make working with data easy and also allow you to provide some advanced functionality in your UI. Now mind you I dont know if you need that stuff, dont know what you are building. No RTL support yet. But dont forget to suggest it via www.adobe.com/go/wish Dimitrios Gianninas RIA Developer Optimal Payments Inc.
