Technology Comparisons

When integrating Flex with other technologies, the most important points to remember are:

  • Flex is a client-side technology that is rendered by Flash Player 9 or Adobe AIR.
  • Flex can work JavaScript on the client.
  • Flex requires a server-side technology (like ColdFusion, LiveCycle Data Services, Java, ASP.NET or PHP) to provide it with real-time data.

What does "Flex can work JavaScript on the client." mean? Does that mean work "with"?

That statement means that your Flex application can use the flash.external.ExternalInterface class to communicate with JavaScript. See http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/flash/external/ExternalInterface.html for more information.
