Hi folks,

Which is the best among Flash and Flex for developing rich internet applications? I have little bit knowledge about Flash but zero in using Flex.

Flex uses Flash, so it's kind of the same thing.

Flex was designed specifically to help developers create RIA's, so if that's what you're looking to build, then you probably want to move more into Flex then just strait Flash.

The Flex SDK (that compiles the SWF's) is also free where Flash itself is not. If you're looking for a program to use for Flex, there is Flex Builder, but it's not free.

Hope this helps!

Flex is designed for buildings RIAs, however you may prefer to work in Flash, it really depends on your development style... but the most important thing is to have a strong grasp of AS3 and its particular brand of OOP, you can apply that knowledge to Flex and Flash
