Top 10 Adobe Flex misconceptions

James Ward from Adobe has put up an article dispelling some common Flex misconceptions that anyone who is developing and or selling rich internet applications may run across. Although some of these issues deal more with Flash, it’s a good list to use as a starting point when talking about RIAs with a skeptical client. I am including the misconceptions, but you should check out the article for more detail.

• Users need to install something new to run Flex applications.
• Flash Player is 100% proprietary.
• Flash is for designers, video, and annoyances.
• Flex is not for enterprise or business applications.
• Flex is expensive.
• Flex applications require a special server.
• Flex is hard to learn.
• With Flex, I will need to rebuild my entire application.
• Flex breaks normal browser functionality, like the Back button.
• I can do everything Flex does with Ajax.
