What is Adobe Flex? Is it just Flash II? -


question

alright, i'm confused buzzwords , press release bingo going on.

  • what relationship between flash , flex:
    • replace flash (not compatible)
    • enhance flash
    • the next version of flash still compatible
    • separate technology altogether
    • ???
  • if i'm starting out in flash now, should skip flex?

follow up

ok, i'm hearing there's 3 different parts puzzle:

  • flash
    • the graphical editor used make "flash movies", ie it's ide focuses on visual aspect of "flash" (officially flash cs3?)
    • the official name display plugins (ie, "download flash now!")
    • a general reference entire technology stack
    • in terms of editor, it's linear timeline based editor, best used animations complex interactivity.
  • actionscript
    • the "flash" programming language
  • flex
    • an adobe flash ide focuses on coding/programming aspect of "flash" (flex builder?)
    • a flash library enhances flash , makes easier program (flex sdk?)
    • is not bound timeline (as flash ide is) , "standard" applications more accomplished.

is correct?

adobe flex builder adobe's ide developing applications run in flash plugin. flex sdk refers libraries developers uses write applications.

essentially, term 'flex' development side , 'flash' run time side of adobe's technology.

correction: term 'flash' used refer flash ide designers use.
