I have never seen flex to sell... How can I get a copy of it and what is the difference between she and flash?

Hey;

I heard great stuff about flex, but I've never seen for sale. I read that it's better for real-time Flash programs. I don't know if it of true or not. What flex is that flash is not and how the flex language better than the flash language? Or am I totally confused and flex is as an add-on to Flash? any guidance would be really appreciated. I'm working on something oriented object that needs to be in real time, I'm looking for the best program that offers that.

I am fairly new to this also and all these words killed me for my first few weeks in this area, but I have my feet under me now.

Flex is an Open Source SDK provided by Adobe (formerly Macromedia). It used to be something they sold, but they opensourced there, Hooray!

Flash is the set of APIs that begin with flash.*, and you can fully create animations flash with just the standard flash API.

Flex comes with a ton of very useful components, features and functionality based on the flash. You should definitely download and become familiar with flex.

The flex api beginning with mx.*

Flex also offers the possibility to compile the MXML documents in flash. MXML documents make it very easy to build Flash, complete with animations, customizations, etc. in a HTML format. Take a look at the Component Explorer link below and you will see the MXML generated for the components of the example. You can copy and paste this MXML (looking at simple stuff huh?) and get an app to work you can develop and play with as you learn.

Here are some useful links to help you move in the right direction:
