Architecting Flex Applications

This chapter describes the Macromedia Flex development process. It describes coding practices, multitier applications, and application architecture. It also includes information about MXML URL parameters, the Flex development environment, and Flex development tools.

When you develop a Flex application, you use the same iterative process that you use for other types of web application files, such as HTML, JavaServer Pages (JSP), Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP), and Macromedia ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML). Unlike a set of static HTML pages or HTML templates created using JSP, ASP, or CFML, the files in a Flex application are compiled into a single binary SWF file. JSP, ASP, and ColdFusion are templating systems in which application processing occurs on the server and data is dynamically added to an HTML template and delivered to the client in an HTML page.
