AIR, Flex, FlexBuilder, Flash, ActionScript … huh?

People new to the technologies listed in the title of this post are often quickly confused as to what the relationship is between them. I often get asked questions such as “What does Flex have to do with Flash?” and “Does Flex replace ActionScript?” and “Is AIR just Flex without a browser?“. I’ve been considering creating a post to clarify a lot of this common confusion… but today, Chet Haase, a fellow Adobe blogger, author and newcomer to Adobe has posted a great article that does the work for me! So, I’m going to point you to his article and sit back and pretend to take credit :)

Thanks Chet – excellent timing!

  1. Very well than! Great work! I hope you didn´t overexert yourself :)
    joking aside, I´d found these useful information on your blog so it´s partly your effort :)
    As I mentioned, the info given by Chet is well sophisticated and adressed to beginners and to everyone who has or wants to look some basic defnitions up. BB
