	Macromedia Flex
		One of the complaints heard in Macromedia Flash circles is that the pendulum in Flash development has swung much to much over to the developer side and away from the initial animation drawing and design which brought Flash all its success.
		Flex fits well because with the many predefined behaviors, components and effects its easier to glue and test parts together early and often in the process of development.
		Flex components are more easily re-used because their object oriented design allows them to be modified readily by several means including inheritance, composition and/or direct call.

	Application Development Trends - Macromedia ships Flex rich interface server
		Macromedia's vice president of product management, Jeff Whatcott, said that HTML has fallen short of delivering what his company calls "rich Internet applications." Macromedia has long touted its own Flash technology as the best vehicle for this kind of interaction.
		Macromedia sees this release as a "key milestone in the emergence of an important new application architecture." This new approach blends the flexibility of services-oriented data access with the superior reach and effectiveness of a cross-platform rich client, the company said in media release.
		More information on Flex, as well as examples and a trial version that converts to a non-expiring Developer Edition after 60 days, is available at http://www.macromedia.com/go/flex.

	Adobe Flex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Adobe Flex is an umbrella term for a group of technologies initially released in March of 2004 by Macromedia to support the development and deployment of rich Internet applications based on their proprietary Macromedia Flash platform.
		Flex was initially released as a J2EE application or JSP tag library that compiles MXML and ActionScript on-the-fly into Flash applications (binary SWF files).
		Flex 2 introduces the use of a new version of the ActionScript scripting language, Actionscript 3, reflecting the latest ECMAScript specification and requires Flash Player 9 or later for the runtime.

	Develop Web services clients with Macromedia Flex
		Flex uses existing WSDL definitions by referencing a URL where the document is located, in order to exchange messages between SOAP service endpoints (SOAP messaging in Flex is constrained to only use HTTP as the transport mechanism).
		Flex however tries to hide the complexity of the service definition from the developer, and for the most part it is sufficient to have a basic understanding of what functionality the service is to provide.
		Flex provides support for both, but the subtle differences between the two have implications as to the specific mark-up tags used.

	Linux News: Developer: Macromedia Releases Flex Builder
		Flex is a server-side framework that generates user interfaces that run in the Flash client and connects the user interface to back-end data.
		When Flex was released, Macromedia noted that it reflected the emergence of a push toward services-oriented architecture (SOA), which resulted in applications that are easier to build and maintain, use less bandwidth, and deliver more functionality.
		Macromedia is eager to promote Flex and Flex Builder as part of its effort to broaden the use of Flash.

	Flexcoders FAQ
		Flex 2.0 no longer requires the need of a server to compile Flex apps - this is done using the IDE or the SDK.
		Macromedia has heard many requests for a Rich Text Editor and has indicated there might be better support in a future release.
		Flex is not a server that you deploy and run, it is simply deployed as part of your web application.

		Flex is designed to get around one of the perennial sticking points for Flash adoption--the graphical development interface traditionally used to create Flash content.
		Flex allows Java developers and other non-Flash professionals to work in a familiar text-based environment to create XML (Extensible Markup Language) code optimized for the Flash client software.

	Hands on with Macromedia Flex 2.0 \| The Register
		Macromedia’s Flash client has wider penetration than either.NET or Java, but most of its usage is for multimedia applets.
		Macromedia’s goal with Flex is to make the Flash client suitable for Enterprise clients as well.
		When Flash MX was announced in 2002, Macromedia promised that it would be as easy as Visual Basic for developers, but the promise was unfulfilled and the Flash IDE remains awkward and unfriendly for application development.

	Exclusive Review: Macromedia brings Flash to the enterprise \| InfoWorld \| Review \| 2004-03-29 \| By Jon Udell
		With Flex, Macromedia continues to move the widely deployed Flash player away from its roots as a boutique animation viewer and closer to the mainstream of enterprise development.
		Now comes MXML (Macromedia Flex Markup Language), the latest development in Macromedia’s ongoing quest to reposition the near-ubiquitous Flash player as a general-purpose presentation engine for rich Internet applications.
		That is, of course, a crucial part of Macromedia’s strategy to make Flash the kind of universal client that Java aimed — but has so far failed — to become.

	Macromedia Flex Builder 1.5 @ COLDFUSION DEVELOPER'S JOURNAL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Flex Builder offers all the capabilities I outlined above, is tightly integrated with the Flex server for previewing and testing, and since it's built on the Dreamweaver codebase, it will be quite familiar to ColdFusion developers who use Dreamweaver for ColdFusion development.
		Flex Builder 1.5 was released and made available for download on Macromedia's Web site (www.macromedia.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=flex) in late December of 2004.
		Many of the Flex containers and components have quite a bit of functionality built into them, and seeing the components and their related code, not to mention being able to change something in the design view and watch the code get updated (or vice versa), can be an extremely powerful learning tool.
