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.
