A few months ago i found myself in a position where I needed to justify purchasing CFMX Enterprise, now I find myself in a similar position with Flex.
A few weeks ago i downloaded Flex and today I received the courtesey followup call from presales. I told the guy that hell yeah, I’m interested in buying Flex and using it but it’s nearly impossible to justify.
Is there anyone out there that has quotes done for the same project done in vanilla Flash the same project done in Flex? I suggested to the guy that it should be a case study on the Macromedia site - someone out there must have done it?

Hey there, John. You might want to take a look at Lazlo. It’s an opensource project which is similar to Flex in many respects (XML config files, compiles to swf). Not sure if it can make use of the feature sets of Flash 6 and 7, so check on that. Someone at CFUNITED suggested that it could. The url is http://www.openlaszlo.org/

v2 was a bit limited, v3 has improved its feature set and now supports the Flash 6 player.
