Flex draws the correct interface, but the Flex bar chart and AJAX Sales Summary & Details are missing. I tried using both Firefox and IE, and the results were the same. Marc Hi Dave,

Once they start combining Flash / Flex / Ajax, seems easier to just going full cream Flex IMHO. From the point of the companies that are not against flash, but do want to keep their existing framework, it makes sense to combine. It's just strange to me. Every AJAX vs Flex conversation I have seen seems to revolve around the want to stay away from Flash because it's "Evil". It's great Nitobi and companies like this are helping get past that perception. Flex 2 and AS3 have matured to the point of being a real enteprise quality tool, not just a "marketing / fancy website tool" (not my perception, but a general perception none the less.) Kudos Nitobi!

Relevant thoughts too, I don't think we as developers would be wise to write off any technology. Flex has a great future. Adobe isn't going anywhere though I do fear they'll fuck up flash (PDF isn't exactly the best user experience imo). JavaScript has a great future with no roadblocks in sight (thanks to mozilla, w3c and ecma standards). Being competent in both technologies and having the ability to integrate them is a pragmatic and a very realistic "enterprise" scenario. Besides, you can't understand the best tools for the job unless you know a few that essentially fill the same needs. Cheers, Brian Great work Dave–looks fkn sweet.

At any rate if you are pro Flash/Flex you should be happy to see adoption in any shape or form!

First of all we wanted to show an example of using the FABridge! Second of all, I think that there are good reasons one may not want to go for the all Flex solution (or even an all Ajax solution). The biggest reason for going with a hybrid approach would be the fact that it only requires an incremental change to an organizations IT infrastructure. Going with an Ajax+Flex solution can be a good step towards evaluating the benefits of either of the those technologies / approaches rather than making a large investment in moving away from a web standards based application to a proprietary all-or-nothing framework. For the moment, I think there are many compelling reasons to take a serious look at Flex, however, there is still room for technologies in the Ajax stack to play an important role in enterprise software. -dave Hi ali, thanks for the question.
