Developers write MXML and ActionScript source code using the Adobe Flex Builder™ IDE or a standard text editor.

David Mendels, senior vice president, Adobe Systems, talks about the explosion of RIA technology.
An RIA, or rich Internet application, is an entirely new kind of web experience that is interactive, smart, effective, lightweight, and flexible. An RIA offers the ease of use of an intelligent desktop application and adds the broad reach of traditional web applications.
The tool that enterprises use to build and deploy RIAs is Adobe Flex 2, the most complete and powerful application development solution available. Flex enables enterprises to create personalized, expressive applications that dramatically enhance user experience, increasing customer satisfaction and making users more productive. And, because RIAs run on Adobe Flash Player, installed on more than 97% of Internet-connected desktops worldwide, enterprises can reach a broad audience of customers, partners, and employees with rich content and interactivity.
