Flex or Flash?

Flex or Flash, a question answered in this chapter.

First of all, let's "unify our caliber". Flash mentioned in this section is a narrow Flash technology, that is, Flash designers (so-called "flash") use Flash production tools, such as FlashProfessional and other creative software design, to create Flash works through frame-by-frame drawing and writing ActionScript scripts. Most of these works are animation, advertising, website art works and so on.

◆ from a technical point of view, Flex and Flash are integrated. Specifically, Flex is an important member of the architecture of the AdobeFlash technology platform. The Flash platform architecture here is Flash in a broad sense.

In the selection of application technology, the difference between Flex and Flash is very obvious.

I don't want to compare the relationship between Flex and Flash to Java and Photoshop, but to a large extent, it is, even if the difference between them is not so great.

◆ Flex is a presentation layer solution for the developer community that focuses on enterprise applications. It provides a large number of common components for building front-end pages and helps you better separate the presentation layer, the business layer and the data layer through data service technology. Similar to J2EE or .net projects, Flex applications are written, compiled, and deployed by developers using the integrated development environment (Eclipse-based FlexBuilder) through code and related configurations.

◆ Flash is for the community of designers. Designers use FlashProfessional creative production software to draw Flash frame by frame on the timeline, just like making a movie. Skilled Flash designers also use ActionScript language, but are more likely to achieve animation, special effects and other types of art work.

Using Flex or Flash, answer the following questions:

1. Do you need to develop a RIA project?

two。 Do you need to integrate with the back-end business?

3. Do you need to associate with the back-end data?

4. Do you need a large number of mature components on the interface? Such as buttons, text boxes, drop-down boxes?

If you are about to develop a RIA project or application, Flex will be your clear choice.

If you are considering using a technology to build a business front-end that needs to be associated with the back-end business logic, Flex will be your clear choice.

If you are considering using a technology to present back-end data, such as data dashboards (DataDashboard), then Flex will be your choice.

If your application consists of a large number of mature and familiar components, such as text boxes, buttons, drop-down combo boxes, etc., then Flex will be your better choice.

If you need to provide gorgeous decorations, animations or advertisements for your website, please use Flash.

In particular, in the Flex project, we will still need traditional Flash technology. With FlexBuilder, you can embed and invoke Flash design works directly.
