As an extremely promising framework, Flex opens up numerous options in terms of creating web applications compatible with the major browsers, operational systems and desktops. Running Flex application poses no problem whatsoever. All the user needs is a Flash Player (available with Adobe and already installed on the overwhelming majority of computers worldwide) for browsers or Adobe's AIR runtime for the desktop. The benefits of using Flex for building RIAs include, but are not limited, to the following ones:
- Remarkable flexibility and adaptability
- Reliability
- Integration with major platforms and languages, availability of options for PC, PDA, touch-screen, server, etc.
- Extensive applicability both for the web and for the desktop
- Shorter development periods
- Consistency: a "design + development" model combining ActionScript and MXML
