Flex is mainly used to create highly interactive and rich web applications which are supported on any browser. And, those Flex Applications are delivered on the web via the Flash Player and to the desktop via Adobe Air.

What do you need to develop Flex Applications?

• Flex Software Development Kit (SDK)
• Knowledge of Action Script 3 and MXML
• Flex builder IDE (However, it’s not compulsory)
• Blaze Data Services or LiveCycle Data Services
• Flash Player
  

You can develop Flex Applications using MXML and Action Script 3. And, following are some basic steps which you can follow to develop applications:

• Define an application interface using a set of pre-defined components (forms, buttons, and so on)
• Arrange components into a user interface design
• Use styles and themes to define the visual design
• Add dynamic behavior (one part of the application interacting with another, for example)
• Define and connect to data services as needed
• Build the source code into an SWF file that runs in the Flash Player
  

Once you done with Flex Application Development, you need to test your applications. You run the application using compiler in the SDK into SWF. If you get any error you can use debugging tool like Flex Builder Debugger. Debugging tools are used to set and manage breakpoints in your code; control application execution by suspending, resuming, and terminating the application, and so on.

Using Flex Technology you can develop and deliver highly expressive, high performance, rich and interactive web applications.

Flex is a cross-platform based on Macromedia Flash software which is open source application development tool for developing and delivering Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) to improve interactivity of the web. Flex Web Applications are highly expressive, giving high performance and can reach virtually anyone because of compatibility with all web browser and operating systems.

Flex has become the approaching technology for creating responsive, dynamic and visually prominent user-interfaces. The most important advantage of Flex Application Development is that it is possible to program real-time systems which can respond to dynamic environments, even when certain resources are not available, the program can produce approximate results.

Flex Applications can handle loads of information without any descent in performance, in compare to DHTML applications that crash routinely if scaled up. Flex can be easily integrated with almost all popular technologies like php, .Net, Java, etc…

In short, Flex delivers successful, innovative and cost-effective business benefits as compare to other traditional technologies.
