    <h2>Question</h2> <p>Alright, I'm confused by all the buzzwords and press release bingo going on.</p> <ul> <li>What is the relationship between flash and flex: <ul> <li>Replace flash (not really compatible)</li> <li>Enhance flash</li> <li>The next version of flash but still basically compatible</li> <li>Separate technology altogether</li> <li>???</li> </ul></li> <li>If I'm starting out in Flash now, should I just skip to Flex?</li> </ul> <h2>Follow up</h2> <p>Ok, so what I'm hearing is that there's three different parts to the puzzle:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Flash</strong> <ul> <li>The graphical editor used to make "Flash Movies", ie it's an IDE that focuses on the visual aspect of "Flash" (Officially Flash CS3?)</li> <li>The official name for the display plugins (ie, "Download Flash Now!")</li> <li>A general reference to the entire technology stack</li> <li>In terms of the editor, it's a linear timeline based editor, best used for animations with complex interactivity.</li> </ul></li> <li><strong>Actionscript</strong> <ul> <li>The "Flash" programming language</li> </ul></li> <li><strong>Flex</strong> <ul> <li>An Adobe Flash IDE that focuses on the coding/programming aspect of "Flash" (Flex Builder?)</li> <li>A Flash library that enhances Flash and makes it easier to <em>program</em> for (Flex SDK?)</li> <li>Is not bound to a timeline (as the Flash IDE is) and so "standard" applications are more easily accomplished.</li> </ul></li> </ul> <p>Is this correct?</p> <p>-Adam</p>

    1. COJust to be specific, "Flex Builder" is the name of Adobe's IDE and "Flex SDK" is the library.

    2. CO@Shawn, Would you please comment on the question itself pointing out the problems so they can be corrected? I'm willing to change the selected answer, but it is concise and addresses the question. Other answers are a chore to read through, or don't give much more help than adobe's marketing stuff.

    3. COFlash is the plugin. The other two are wrong and/or misleading. Actionscript is right; but add that it's a proprietary superset of javascript (but you can use javascript). Flex is 2 semi-interchangeable libraries; one for the browser, the other (AIR) for the desktop (i.e. *not* the browser).

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
