Hi all,

Where I work we have a coldfusion CRM/Email/Database Marketing application
that is access over the web by our clients. We are going to be giving it a
major facelift starting in the first quarter of next year. We are wanting to
make it more of an RIA and with that, we are looking at both Flash Remoting
and Flex. Can someone explain to me the differences between the two?

TIA.

Flash Remoting simply provides you with a framework to transport strongly
typed data in an efficient manner (with some debugging tools to help). You
still have to build the UI components, events, etc. to build an application.

Flex is in another ball park - you write RIAs in MXML + ActionScript 2.0 and
compile them using the Flex Server (not the Authoring Tool).

Did you take a look at the Flex overview?
