  1. Comment - Sun's JavaFX Takes On Flash, Silverlight

    (May 9, 2007 - 11:41 AM)

    The article states, “While Adobe is expanding the Flash system with the Flex environment, its language is based on an embedded XML schema that remains browser-dependent.”

    This is a complete fallacy if I’m reading it correctly. Yes, you can host uncompiled mxml on Flex Data Services, but that would be the exception not the rule. Core to the Flex paradigm is the fact that it is NOT browser-dependent. The xml schema is simply a language of convenience which ultimately runs as ActionScript behind the scenes, and normally ends up compiled. A swf can not only be shown directly in a browser, with no supporting html, xhtml, xml of any kind, but then there’s Apollo.
