nice!

This is GREAT. Finally a place to point people to who ask "What’s Flex?". Macrodobe needs to pimp out some money for a nice Flex ad banner on that page 🙂

is it flex 1.5 or 2 ?
-
1.5, usable in Flash Player 7 and up.

Any idea when they will be getting UK data?
-
I was wondering if that was Flex or not. Very nice work. It’ll be even better in a couple years once they can safely deploy for 8/8.5.
Not good news for Ajax. I’m sure it was considered at one point, I’d have liked to been listening in on that, especially in terms of development time. -
Nice, but not quite as smooth or fast as Google maps – can Flex provide the same quality?
-
I agree with Chuck. While it has more functionality and better tools than Google Maps, its not as smooth. It just seem a bit clunky. That seems (IMO) to be the Achilles Heel of Flash. Hope 8/8.5 can help. As of now, I’m still partial to Google Maps.
