This is clear to me. Thank you all for your contribiutions. I continue developing this FLEX application and hope that I can give you an update real soon.
Greetings and succes, Andre

Flash has a lot going for it. It could be that because flash makes it so easy to create usable, good looking interfaces that it is in fact the ideal testbed for interface prototypes. I'd be curious to see the rationale on which it has been rejected, and why it won't be given a fair chance next to other technologies.
If you're creating a huge giant UI in Flash, it'll take a lot of extra work to duplicate an entire second version in cross-platform high-functioning web standards, and maintain both versions. If you've only programmed a Flash version, then when Flash isn't available, you've got nothing.
That's not very nice for something we'd want to ship. :) Hence, we're most interested in Flash for small pieces which degrade gracefully, not an entire page editing widget.
But as I said, third parties are more than welcome to use whatever they like for their own development. If the result is interesting, we'd be happy to learn lessons on UI and workflow from it, but we'd never use it directly.
