Yes, Judah. The gig up in Detroit required someone with Flash experience who was not only a coder, but who had worked with designers in the past so had process experience. So, while I swore I’d never do Flash dev again, hear I am up in Detroit doing so.

I would say that, but there were 50 things that preceeded me. First, the site already existed and took 18 months an outside vendor to build. Second, of those 18 months, the in house development staff had created a multitude of web services that had already proven their effectivness. Third, someone from my firm had already put their stamp of approval on the quality of the code base from a business standpoint. Fourth, it works, and has been working for 10 months. Fifth, they probably spent milliions on it.

So, me going in there deciding to re-do everything in scratch in Flex with the above in mind wouldn’t fly.

Doesn’t mean I still don’t try, hehe!

nice post. i agree. these are all real problems dudes face. personally, i really hope flex 2+ addresses all the things we currently still need flash for. i swore off flash development a few months ago and then heard you did too. is the firm you are at making you go back into it?

one of the things i’ve been talking to clients about is no longer doing their project in flash. development can be done quicker (saves money in the short and long run), more maintainable, runs faster (currently) and blah blah blah all the benefits of flex.

if i was you. i would say, look dudes, i dont do flash. i’ll help you maintain or bug fix current flash apps but i’m not doing any new development in it. if you dont like it you can kiss my @$$.

i think all of us flash software developers should go on protest until we can program in flex. start the revolution jesse!
