The key differences here are project complexity, compatibility, and
maintenance.
AJAX applications are harder to develop and harder to maintain than Flex.
There are details in using AJAX that produce compatibility problems as
browsers vary in support DTML/XHTML/Javascript for AJAX rendering.
Can we get back to Flex development?

I have been using Flex for 3 months but personally have 8 years of Flash
experience. The key difference in moving from Flash to Flex is that Flex
allows you to reconfigure and reuse where Flash cannot. In 3 consecutive

The nice aspect of a local server (HTTP/XMLSocket) for integration is that
you can interact with Flex applications in the browser cleanly within the
security sandbox of the player. So long as the crossdomain.xml files are in
place and valid, you can have Flex integrate with a local server without

You need to use Delagate with XMLSocket callbacks.
This should work:
import mx.utils.Delegate;
sock.onClose = Delegate.create( this, sockOnClose );
sock.onConnect = Delegate.create( this, sockOnConnect );
sock.onData = Delegate.create( this, sockOnData );
So a loader can be used to communicate with an HTTP Server in a push
model?!!! Is this analagous to the way AJAX web sites push content to
the client?
Loader is for SWF/Image but there are ton of various ways to exchange data
in Flash. The Flash Player has supported data exchange since

When you set proxy=false you need to have crossdomain.xml files set-up

Use a cellrenderer, the cellRenderer API was designed to extends and provide
custom inner layout of datagrid cells.
There are some default objects that decorate each CellRenederer instance:
var listOwner:MovieClip //the datagrid
var getCellIndex:Function
Sorry correction, 'owner' in the datagrid is the DataGridRow not the column!

Sure.
The key is that you need to build your DataGrid with defined columns before
your data arrives in AMF. When DataProvider is set, the Columns and DataGrid
are used as a template against DataProvider to define the view.
You can define a labelFunction or cellRenderer to customize the rendering

Ralf,
We are working on a Socket Proxy Server at
IFBIN. The proxy is hosted on your domain and allows you to connect to any port
on any 3rd party server using Flash as the client with Player 8.5.
It is useful for situations involving streaming and for data/port access to 3rd
party
Does that mean that - being a proud IFBIN subscriber :-)
- I will have access to the proxy server?
Ralf, Yes. The socket proxy server will ship as an IFBIN example combined
with full source for the server as well. There will be an example using Flex

I know I am biased as I work on the Cynergy team but Log4X is by far one of

The key is that in reading 1 log you can see client events inline with

I think this would best be done via the
Drawing API embedded into SWF Icons in Flex 1.5 and Flex 2.
Node Icons would need to draw this:

Container Icons would need to draw this:

Since each Icon knows its position, it can
readily draw

would render the lines according to it's position in the tree? Am I
